Proxy: fixed incorrect URI change due to if (ticket #86). In the following configuration request was sent to a backend without URI changed to '/' due to if: location /proxy-pass-uri { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/; set $true 1; if ($true) { # nothing } } Fix is to inherit conf->location from the location where proxy_pass was configured, much like it's done with conf->vars.
