proxy_pass not passing to dynamic $host

[nehay2j]

Hi,

I did a curl on the url - curl -i https://example.com/23.23.234.234

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 01:37:47 GMT
Location: https://marketplace.example.com/marketplace/marketplace/login
Server: nginx/1.4.2
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive

Which is correct. But when I submit post request through browser, I gives me
a 404 with no error in logs. Should i be using rewrite command here or not?
If I remove rewrite command, it give file not found error as it picks
default root path always.
