Hi,

Sorry for no responding yesterday, had a full day.  You can set the proxy
header directly, just using:

proxy_set_header SCRIPT_NAME /my_app/;

That should do the trick, but may be missing something.  I have a working
config on a system that is currently sitting in an Apple store repair
facility :/
