nginx RFC21266 Compliance - 'Proxy-Connection'

[Steve Wilson]

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields it
suggests it's a non-standard request header.

You can probably strip this out of the request to the real server with

proxy_set_header "Proxy-Connection" "";

Although I'd expect the backend server to ignore invalid request headers
rather than bork on the request.
