Yes, that should work. So long as this location{} is the one that is
used for the request that you make.

If you have something like "location ~ jpg" as well, then *that* would
be used instead of this one.

http://nginx.org/r/location

I'd suggest to check the logs then, to see what is happening instead.

And ensure that you are getting nginx to use the new config, each time
you change it. The logs should show that that has happened too.

Good luck with it,
