Hi,

Here what you do. As you can not use X-Accel-Redirect to set different
location, you should set other header with location and in nginx config do
something like this:

location @resources {
    set $stored_real_location $upstream_http_x_real_location;
    proxy_pass http://resources-backend$stored_real_location;
}

In example above Python code should set the following headers:

X-Accel-Redirect: @resources
X-Real-Location: /some/other/path...

Does it help?
