The www80 probably comes from the upstream application (which makes a 
redirect) since you don't pass the real Host: header back to upstream and 
nginx uses the 'www80' upstream name when connecting to the backend.

You can either try to pass the actuall Host: header back to upstream - add:

proxy_set_header        Host        $host;


Or you can change the redirects with proxy_redirect (
