Thank you for your reply, Roman.
It turns out the issue was adding the various proxy and forwarded headers
in that entry. Changing it to the below block fixed my issue:
#send to non-websocket process
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8082;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
Now everything is working as expected.
Cheers,
Joseph Wonesh
