Describe the bug

the rewrite directive has no effect when put into the advanced tab for example
rewrite ^/about$ /preferences last; this works on LSIO SWAG, but doesn’t work on NPM.

this issue started around the beginning of November, maybe something changed in OpenResty ? or a regression in v2.9.11+ ?

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

v2.9.12

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ‘any proxy host’
2. Click on ‘advanced’
3. put a rewrite directive like rewrite ^/about$ /preferences last;
4. test it and it won’t work.

Expected behavior

the rewrite directive should work, and rewrite URLs as instructed.

Additional context

[diwu1989]

Tried on the github-pr-1578 image and rewrites also dont work. I have a wss custom location that sends /ws to a different port, and need to rewrite /ws to root /

[brtwrst]

Can confirm that my custom locations are breaking after editing and re-saving. with the current :latest version Made it work again by using the “add custom nginx config here at own risk” option of the custom locations.
