Hi Max, this is more an nginx than a CouchDB question, but https://serverfault.com/questions/459369/disabling-url-decoding-in-nginx-proxy#463932 suggests that if you use proxy_pass without a uri (not even a slash), that things should work.
Can you verify you’re using `proxy_pass http://localhost:5984;` and not e.g. `proxy_pass http://localhost:5984/;`. If you are, you should open a ticket with the nginx team. Best Jan -- > On 12.
