Nginx Azure App Service SSH terminal script

Nginx Azure App Service SSH terminal script

(have posted previously in general developer forums and realized after receiving no replies that my question is probably very specific to Nginx scripting: hopefully this forum is the right venue?)

I am trying to write a Nginx script for an Azure App Service WordPress site.

wp-content resources (for example, a web app launched by an HTM file) are stored at an Azure App Service backbone (backend) endpoint with a URL and path different from the primary site's URL and path.

Nginx script's goal is to test for a match for the web app's startup HTM file on the backbone endpoint server and, if matched, redirect the user to, for example in this test, www.google.com.

If I can get the test script working, I could add additional parameters like matching for a WordPress user signed-in cookie or WordPress Simple Membership signed-in cookie, to assure that only signed-in users or members can access and view the web app.

I am a beginner learning and using Nginx scripts. Have followed this technical link (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/updating-nginx-default-configurations-on-azure-app-services/ba-p/3710146) to set up the basics using the Azure App Service's SSH terminal, assure the script plus additions persists using the /home directory and a startup.sh command pointing, at server restart, to the /home/default.conf script, reloading Nginx (nginx -s reload).

So far, tried several scripts with no joy. Latest (added to server block) which didn't work:

location ~ \.htm? {
proxy_pass https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-endpoint.azureedge.net;
{return 301
$scheme://www.google.com$request_uri;}
}

I suspect that I am doing something wrong. Would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
