I have the following server configuration. I have two problems that I would appreciate if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong:

1- this location is not respected since the configuration lowercases all uris without respecting these locations. Please note that api, contentAssets, categoryServlet are paths, not directories or folders.

location ~ ^/(api|contentAsset|categoriesServlet|DotAjaxDirector|html|dwr|dA)/{}


2. It seems that if I am in a reverse proxy I have to input the proxy definition in every location because otherwise it does not work. Is the a more practical way to do this?


Thank you for all your help!

Lex

Note: I have changed the proxy IP address and port for x and Is.
