I don't have that there. I have the 80 in front of default_server. The funny thing is that now I updated all the servers (backend as well) to 0.8.21 and the error is gone. And Firefox was right about the redirection error:
alekto ~ # HEAD -H "Host:192.168.0.71" http://192.168.0.71/

alekto ~ #


Looking again at the config file I detected a stupid error. I had this in place:
1 server {
2 #====================================================
3 set $vhost "domain.tld";
4 set $vhost_root "/var/www/vu-hosting/$vhost";
5 listen 80 default_server;
6 server_name www.domain.tld .domain.tld;
7 access_log /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/logs/access_log combined;
8 error_log /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/logs/error_log;
9 root /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/htdocs;
10 #============================================
11 if ($host !~* "^(.*\.)?(domain\.tld)$") {
12 rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://$host/$1 permanent;
13 }
14 #============================================


This produces a loop. Stupid me! Checking if $host is not equal to domain.tld and then rewriting the url to $host. Stupid! Stupid. The right config should be:
1 server {
2 #====================================================
3 set $vhost "domain.tld";
4 set $vhost_root "/var/www/vu-hosting/$vhost";
5 listen 80 default_server;
6 server_name www.domain.tld .domain.tld;
7 access_log /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/logs/access_log combined;
8 error_log /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/logs/error_log;
9 root /var/www/vu-hosting/domain.tld/htdocs;
10 #============================================
11 if ($host !~* "^(.*\.)?(domain\.tld)$") {
12 rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.$vhost/$1 permanent;
13 }
14 #============================================
