Note HTTP/1.1. It's likely to be original request.

Note HTTP/1.0 here. It looks like requests here appear after
proxy_pass to 127.0.0.1 in your original "testsite" server.

The fact the request isn't matched to the same testsite server
suggests that things happen on different socket, i.e. you use
listen directive in the server block in question (the one without
server_name) either on different port or explicitly on 127.0.0.1.

Behaviour seems correct for me.
