1216	Confusing use of 'URI' when referring to a path in the proxy_pass documentation	ankon@…		"In http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_pass it states:

----
A request URI is passed to the server as follows:

If the proxy_pass directive is specified with a '''URI''', then when a request is passed to the server, the part of a normalized request URI matching the location is replaced by a URI specified in the directive:

location /name/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1/remote/;
}

If proxy_pass is specified without a '''URI''', the request URI is passed to the server in the same form as sent by a client when the original request is processed, or the full normalized request URI is passed when processing the changed URI:

location /some/path/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
}
----

The highlighted uses of 'URI' should IMVHO be 'path', as in both cases a URI (with a scheme and a host, and the path in the first case) is given.
