Description (last modified by legale@…)

Config 1 with Host header replacement:

location /phpinfo {

proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;

}

curl -s -o /dev/null -D - http://192.168.56.102/phpinfo
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2020 13:12:05 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Length: 323
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://192.168.56.102:8000/phpinfo/

Config 2 just proxy_pass:

location /phpinfo {

proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;

}

curl -s -o /dev/null -D - http://192.168.56.102/phpinfo
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2020 13:25:15 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Length: 313
Location: http://192.168.56.102/phpinfo/
Connection: keep-alive

Summary:
proxy_pass with Host header replacement when no trailing slash defined redirects to:

http://192.168.56.102:8000/phpinfo/

Expected:

Location: http://192.168.56.102/phpinfo/

It looks like redirects returned by your backend are changed to something reasonable by proxy_redirect default; as long as you don't use proxy_set_header Host ...;. But redirects returned by your backend are different as log as you use proxy_set_header Host ...;, and these are not matched by default by proxy_redirect. You need to configure proxy_redirect appropriately or fix redirects returned by your backend server.

If you have further questions on how to configure nginx, consider using support options available.
