 A request URI is passed to the server as follows:

    If the proxy_pass directive is specified with a URI, then when a
    request is passed to the server, the part of a normalized request
    URI matching the location is replaced by a URI specified in the
    directive: 

location /name/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1/remote/;
}

Also in case of rewrite you probably want `break` since `last` restart
location matching process
