Browser(get localhost:8080) -> osticket (return responses with localhost:8080)

Browser(get localhost:80) -> nginx proxy_pass localhost:8080 -> osticket (return responses with localhost:8080)
Browser attempts 8080 which is not the nginx proxy.

Ea. sometimes you need to tell the backend (osticket) what it's frontend address/port is.

This is a typical issue with tomcat applications, where you have to tell it is running on port 443 eventhough it is listening on port 8443 because nginx is setting in between handling port 443 proxying to 8443.
