Thank you so much.  That saved me from the hours of searching.

Indeed, the documentation said it's about "proxied server response".  I should expect every word in nginx documention counts :-)

The backend is an oudated legacy application, don't know why they did that, and I tried but can't figure out how to fix.  So I just used the sub_filter to rewrite and it worked.  Indeed I still have to "proxy_set_header Host $host" on the proxy to make that work as well.
