A "redirect" is an "external rewrite", which asks the browser to make
a new request, and therefore change the url the browser shows.

If you want the browser not to make a new request, you need to handle
the request internally, within nginx, possibly by means of a proxy_pass
(if the desired resource is only available in another server{}).

Good luck with it,
