Nginx does redirect, not proxy

by

You have to use the proxy_redirect to handle the redirection.

 Sets the text that should be changed in the “Location” and “Refresh” header fields of a 
 proxied server response. Suppose a proxied server returned the header field 
 “Location:https://myserver/uri/”. The directive
 will rewrite this string to “Location: http://nginx_server:8080/uri/”.

Example: 

 proxy_redirect https://myserver/ http://nginx_server:8080/;
