That's not quite correct.

The documentation is at http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

You almost certainly want to have the same number of slashes at the end
of your "location" and at the end of your "proxy_pass".

Make that be "location /bla/" and you will probably be happier.

I would say that that is arguable -- /one and //one are different
urls. It may be common and "friendly" to handle them in the same way,
but I don't think it should be required. GIGO applies, and it is less
work for the server to decline to try to guess what the client means,
when the client could send the correct information the first time.

Just don't add it in the first place, as above.
