Relative redirection in Python tornado

I have a tornado web app that would redirect users back to main page ("/" of the app). Then the tornado web app is deployed using nginx as the one of the app (e.g. www.helloworld.com/app) the redirection no longer works. The table below should describe the situation.

+-----------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Root URL of tornado app     | www.helloworld.com/app          |
| Redirect URL                | www.helloworld.com/app/redirect |
| Expected URL after redirect | www.helloworld.com/app          |
| Actual URL after redirect   | www.helloworld.com              |
+-----------------------------+---------------------------------+

Here is my RedirectHandler

class RedirectHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        self.redirect(self.reverse_url("index"))

And here is my Application

handlers = [
            tornado.web.url(r'/', IndexPageHandler, name='index'),
            tornado.web.url(r'/redirect', RedirectHandler, name='redirect'),
        ]

Tornado is not designed for use with proxies that strip off a prefix of the URL. Configure your Tornado servers with full URLs (tornado.web.url(r'/app', IndexPageHandler, name='index')) and remove the path from your nginx proxy_pass directive.
