From the docs (
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_set_header):

If the value of a header field is an empty string then this field will not
be passed to a proxied server:

proxy_set_header Range "";


proxy_ignore_header is meant to handle response headers, not request headers
