Stock nginx does not speak proxied-http to a http proxy.

I suspect that the facility will only become available when someone
wants it enough to write the code, or to cause the code to be written.


If you have a config that works well-enough on your system (as in: your
proxy server is configured in a transparent-like manner, and accepts http
requests to itself and then reverse-proxies the world), then continuing
to use that config is probably appropriate.

That is: if

> location /custom/main/request/url {
> proxy_buffering off;
> proxy_pass_header on;
> proxy_set_header Host "www.origin-server.com";
> proxy_pass http://corporate_proxy;
> }

does everything that you want normally, then something like

> location /subrequest {
> proxy_buffering off;
> proxy_pass_header on;
> proxy_set_header Host "rest_server";
> proxy_pass http://corporate_proxy;
> }

may work for your subrequests.
