I'm trying to setup rewrites so I can automate this more efficiently. Some of my locations require a rewrite and some do not. I currently have it hardcoded into the proxy_pass:

location ~* /v1/device/(.*)/ {
proxy_pass http://api.domain.com/api/v1.0/download/$1;
}


Would this accomplish the same thing?

location ~* /v1/device/(.*)/ {
rewrite ^/(.*) /api/v1.0/download/$1 break;
proxy_pass http://api.domain.com;
}
