How to exclude part of url from location?

Question

Nginx

I set up a proxy in Nginx for Yandex mail:

location /mail {
proxy_pass https://mail.yandex.ru
}

Now, when visiting example.com/mail, the request goes to https://mail.yandex.ru/mail and returns 404, but should go to https://mail.yandex.ru, that is, exclude "/mail" from the request . How to implement it?

Answer 1

Add a slash at the end of the proxy_pass.
