Is it possible to specify an uri in Nginx proxy_pass? - nginx

Question

I have a question, is it possible to specify a URI in the Nginx proxy_pass directive?
I currently host two websites on my windows server on a lan network that are set up and accessible via nginx. But I have one problem. One of these sites, which is hosted at my home, needs to specify a uri, because it is not possible to reach it via the normal ip address that I have set in nginx.
To be specific, a subdomain "emfavm.emfasandbox.tk" is reverse proxyed to lan ip "192.168.1.106" by using proxy_pass. I can get to this page using this ip address, but I need to specify the uri, something like this: "https://192.168.1.106/some/uri". I host these pages on another virtual server. When I put this uri as above in proxy_pass in nginx.conf, and I connect to the domain "emfavm.emfasandbox.tk", it gives me an error "bad request, your browser sent a request that this server could not understand"
Here is my nginx.conf:
#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;
#error_log logs/error.log;
#error_log logs/error.log notice;
#error_log logs/error.log info;
#pid logs/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#

location = /50x.html {

}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80

# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;

#}
# HTTPS server

# ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
# ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
# location / {
# root html;
# index index.html index.htm;
# }
#}
}
And this is the conf with the website in C:/nginx/sites-enabled/emfavm.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name emfavm.emfasandbox.tk;
location / {
proxy_pass https://192.168.1.106/#/?username=www.emfasandbox.tk&password=emfasandbox/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
Thanks for any help :)

Maybe you can try to change https to http in C:/nginx/sites-enabled/emfavm.conf
