While the problem you are trying to solve is clear enough, I can't 
say I like the patch suggested.  If we are going to address this, 
I would prefer something in line with server_name_in_redirect 
(may be something like "relative_redirects" will do the trick, 
it's allowed as per RFC7231 now) and/or realip module.
