why not doing:


root /path/to/static

location / {
    try_files $uri @app_proxy
}

location @app_proxy {
    ...
}

I tried that, nginx complained endlessly about it. I'm not sure 
why and I would prefer to use that version.

Also, I need to make an adjustment to my configuration, the 
$body_bytes_sent doesn't work the way I thought, so you actually 
need to do

server {
   ...
   proxy_set_body $request_body;
   ...
   // Remove proxy_set_header Content-length... line
}
