I don't understand what you mean by "passed as http:80", but I think
your problem will be fixable if you can provide more detailed
information.

Please post ascii dumps (tcpdump -nnn -A -s0 -i <proxy-to-app-NIC>
port 8080) of a request/response under nginx and then under apache,
showing all HTTP headers in both directions. In that tcpdump example,
I'm assuming your backend is listening for HTTP traffic on port 8080 -
you may need to change that.

Of course, redact anything you like, but please indicate where you've
redacted something rather than just removing it.
