Strip Character from Server Variable

Server NGINX
1

Hi all,

I am trying to do something that sounds very simple and yet has me
perplexed. I need to strip the leading / from the $uri variable in my
nginx.conf. I need to then pass that modified variable to ProxyPass.

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to this in the nginx.conf
syntax.

Thanks in advance.

James

or

if ($uri ~ "^/(.*)$") {
    set $uri_stripped $1;
}

or, maybe you just want this:

 location ~ ^/(.*)$ {
     ...
     fastcgi_param SOME $1; # just for example
 }
