Host header sent to proxied server using different port

Host header sent to proxied server using different port

Hello,

If I have a simple reverse proxy configuration e.g.

server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name myserver;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

location /blueprint/servlet/ {
proxy_pass http://backendserver:40980/blueprint/servlet/;
}
}

then the Host header sent to the backendserver is not what I would expect. It does not send (what I would like it to send)

Host: myserver

but instead it sends

Host: myserver:40980

and there seems to be no way around it. Even if I explicitly specify a port in proxy_set_header Host then it's always setting the port where proxy_pass is making the request to, and not the port specified in proxy_set_header.

Is there any way around this?
