nginx rewrite url without causing redirect and proxy to backend app

[kodeninja]

Howdy, everyone!

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to achieve this with nginx:
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33427101/nginx-rewrite-url-without-causing-redirect-and-proxy-to-backend-app>.
I didn't get response on the SO question yet, so trying my luck here :).

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks a lot!
