What is the output of

  curl -i http://test/

?

My guess is that your browser fails to resolve the name to the correct
address, and so never talks to nginx in the first place.

If that is the case, make the name resolvable -- put it in DNS or
/etc/hosts, for example -- and retry the curl command.

If it does not show what you expect, describe that output too.
