nginx absolute_redirect

A somewhat simpler solution, that worked for me, is to disable absolute redirects with absolute_redirect off; as in the following example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name  localhost;
    absolute_redirect off;

    location /foo/ {
        proxy_pass http://bar/;
    }

If I run curl on on http://localhost:8080/foo, I can see that the Location header in the redirect HTTP response is given as /foo/ and not http://localhost/foo/.
