Nginx proxypass - BaseX-Talk - mailman.uni-konstanz.de

      How could i set up nginx as a proxy to expose the rest api to port 80?
I have:
server {
        listen 80;
location / {
            proxy_pass http://212.71.232.36:8984/rest;
            proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=";
            proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        }
}
which works correctly for root, but lets say i tried
server {
        listen 80;
location /hello/world {
            proxy_pass http://212.71.232.36:8984/rest/hello/world;
            proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=";
            proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        }
}
I get:
Database 'hello' was not found.
Ideally I’d like a catch all so that the rest api works from this I.P.
