Hi, I’m try to do a proxy\_pass and rewrite rules like this:

location /directory/ {  
proxy\_pass http://some\_url\_to\_proxy\_pass/;  
expires +10d;  
}

It’s working, but I need to repeat the /directory/ on the new url to  
work  
…like this  
[http://testurl.com/directory/directory/foo/bar/](http://testurl.com/directory/directory/foo/bar/)

And I want just one /directory/foo/bar/…then a try a rewrite rule,  
like  
this

location /directory/ {  
proxy\_pass http://some\_url\_to\_proxy\_pass/;  
rewrite /directory/(.\*) $1 break;  
expires +10d;  
}

But, isn’t work  
Some help, please.  
Thanks
