May be
  http://licensing.fixflyer.com/licensing.fixflyer.com/downloads/
note the trailing "/".

Try add these

proxy_redirect  http://licensing.fixflyer.com/licensing.fixflyer.com/  /;
proxy_redirect  http://licensing/licensing.fixflyer.com/               /;

By default nginx detects only this redirect:
proxy_redirect http://web.ny1.prod.fixflyer.com/licensing.fixflyer.com/ /;
