In my scenario, the rules are complex enough that I have to hand off to  
fcgi from nginx. I use proxy\_pass to hand off to fcgi where the actual  
redirection happens based on some complex conditions.  
But instead of using the Location Header in fcgi which is a rewrite, I  
want to preserve the headers.  
Looking to mimic how nginx does proxy\_pass in fcgi. Thanks!
