2608	Request to Add Documentation Link on Trailing Slash Behavior in Reverse Proxy Setup	leerenix@…		"Hello! I've noticed an inconsistency that seems counterintuitive related to the behavior of proxy formatting based on the presence or absence of a trailing slash in the `proxy_pass` directive. Although this detail is documented, it is not immediately apparent or accessible on the initial pages that one might consult when setting up a reverse proxy.

Furthermore, the documentation page (https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#:~:text=If%20the%20proxy_pass,in%20some%20cases) that discusses this behavior, despite being relevant to reverse proxies, does not have any direct links from the main reverse proxy documentation page (https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/). I encountered a problem related to a trailing slash that took me two days to resolve, and my solution came from a blog post that referenced the detailed documentation. While I understand there may not be changes to the logic governing this behavior, could a direct link to the detailed page be added to the main reverse proxy documentation? This could significantly aid others in troubleshooting and understanding configuration nuances."	enhancement	new	trivial		documentation	1.18.x		reverse proxy, docs			"nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
