nginx x-accel-redirect request method named location

[hemendra26]

I was using nginx  x-accel-redirect as an authentication frontend for an
external db resource.

In my python code I would do the following:

/getresource/

def view(self, req, resp):
     name = get_dbname(req.user.id)
     resp.set_header('X-Accel-Redirect', '/resource/%s/' %name )

This would forward the HTTP method as well until nginx 1.10 
Since nginx 1.10 all x-accel-redirects are forwarded as GET methods.

I understand that the correct way to forward the HTTP method is to use named
location. 
I am unable to find documentation on how this should be done.
I tried the following:

def view(self, req, resp):
        name = get_dbname(req.user.id)
        resp.set_header('X-Accel-Redirect', '@resource'  )

but this redirects to @resource /
I would like to redirect to @resource /name
