It pretty much always is because what you think you have told nginx to
do is not what you have actually told nginx to do.

(The other occasions are usually when your browser is not talking to the
nginx that you think it is talking to.)

To a first approximation: when a request comes to nginx, it first chooses
which server{} to handle the request in, then chooses which location{}
within that server{} to handle the request in.

Can you show a configuration and a request that is handled in a different
location{} from what you want?

Thanks,
