Hello Team,

I am trying to configure Nginx to act as reverse proxy to one of my web server. For the purpose of testing I am using "https://google.com" as my backend service. When I launch the Nginx server and navigate to the desired path 'http://localhost:8008/console' (this is the configuration in my nginx.conf file) I am not able to see the Google home page, instead I am seeing a 404 from google. This is happening because when Nginx is trying to call the backend 'https://google.com' service it is appending the requested location from nginx.conf fle to the backend service url, that means instead of sending a request to 'https://google.com' nginx is sending request to 'https://google.com/console'. Below is the content from my nginx.conf file. Kindly help in fixing my issue.
