I'd like to create a dynamic thumbnail generator and pass all requests through nginx and test weather the files exist using try_files.
The fallback should be an external URL, how can I achieve this?
server
listen 80;
server_name static.stage.domain.example;
location /
alias /home/fh/static/$1;
try_files $uri $uri/ @bla;
location @bla
proxy_set_header Host http://www.myurl.example?resize=$uri;
Solution
This is what I've been looking for: (working example):
server
listen 80;
server_name static.example.com;
location /
root /home/example/static/uploads/thumbnail;
try_files $uri @redirect;
location @redirect
expires 30s;
return 301 https:/example.com/thumbnail$request_uri;

URI is the resource part of a full URL, that is, a resource on the current server. You cannot refer to an external resource in try_files directive.
You need to add proxy_pass http://example.com; in your location @bla configuration section to pass the request to an external service.
