What does your backend returns?

What's the debug output when you activate the line above and comment the `return
301 ...` in quote from the doc

https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#return

```
Stops processing and returns the specified code to a client.
```

The rewrite looks good to me.

For debug log please take a look into this doc.
