What do your error logs show?

Maybe the '=' after 'location' is superfluous?  Please refer to the 
manual at 
https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/>.

And for more info on using wildcards in 'location', please see 
<https://www.nginx.com/blog/regular-expression-tester-nginx/>

nginx documentation is pretty good, so start there.  If you still have 
problems after "read the manual" full details of your server setup and 
errors logged would be helpful for others to try and help you.
