I will add the variables support in the proxy_pass directive.

As to
     location  / {
         proxy_pass http://localhost:7777/vhost/http/$host/;
     }


the following workaround can be used:

     location  / {
         rewrite  ^(.*)$  /vhost/http/$host/$1  break;
         proxy_pass       http://localhost:7777;
     }
