First, it is checked if the file exists, and if not, it goes to the server. In my case it has to go to the proxy.
As far as I can see, the ‘try_files’ directive doesn’t do this, it can only redirect, but how to redirect to a proxy?
If you use the file matcher without any params, it assumes you meant {path} because that’s the most common usecase.
Make sure you have root set correctly for this to work, because the file matcher concatenates the current path to the root to know where to look on disk for files.
