Maxim Dounin thank you so much! You just saved me from pulling out my
hair.

if ($request_uri ~ "^/resources/.*") {
expires 30d;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8089;
break;
}

Works perfectly. I did not know things get discarded in if statements. I
would ideally be using try_files but I have varnish in front of nginx to
cache data. There are some issues with nginx on solaris using /dev/poll,
connections in rapid succession get dropped and eventports just stops
responding after a few hours of medium amount of traffic.
