Nginx URL rewrite changes URL

Question

I need to redirect a URL in nginx. My rule looks like this which actually causes the browser to visibly change the URL, which is not what is expected.

   location / {
      rewrite ^/dentists/bangalore/indiranagar/$ http://abc.com/doctorsInArea.htm?cID=bangalore&aID=indiranagar break;
    }

I read another question here nginx rewrite WITHOUT change url which tells me to remove the http part . I tried

    location / {
      rewrite ^/dentists/bangalore/indiranagar/$ /doctorsInArea.htm?cID=bangalore&aID=indiranagar break;
    }

This one throws a 404 even though http://abc.com/doctorsInArea.htm?cID=bangalore&aID=indiranagar works fine when hit from the browser. Any insights on the problem would be apprreciated.

I would try location / { rewrite ^/dentists/bangalore/indiranagar/$ abc.com/doctorsInArea.htm?cID=bangalore&aID=indiranagar last; } — Pixou

I got it working by using the following.

location / {
      rewrite "/dentists/bangalore/indiranagar/" /doctorsInArea.htm?cID=bangalore&aID=indiranagar last;
    }

Thanks!
