1381	'proxy_set_header Host' causes https drop in proxied redirect's Location header	Bagrat Lazaryan		"Consider the following configuration accessible at https://proxy
{{{
server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name proxy;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/proxy.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/proxy.key;

    location / {
	    proxy_pass http://app;
	    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
	    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
}
}}}
Now consider this accessible at http://app from proxy:

{{{
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  app;

    location / {
        return 200 ""app"";
        add_header Content-Type text/plain;
    }

    location /redirect {
	    return 302 /redirected;
    }

    location /redirected {
        return 200 ""redirected"";
        add_header Content-Type text/plain;
    }
}
}}}
Now, if we access https://proxy/redirect we are redirected to http://proxy/redirected. Note the https drop to http.
If we remove the 'proxy_set_header Host $http_host;' from proxy's configuration, we are then redirected correctly to https://proxy/redirected.
