Why do you have $arg_upstream_protocol? What is its purpose?

After you answer that, consider: why do you not also have
$arg_forwarded_port?

If the port to connect to, and the protocol to connect with, are
conceptually analogous, they should probably be handled in the same way.

(Set them both in maps.)

One request gets one response. If the response is a http 301, the next
request is a whole new request that should be considered separately.

If at all possible, do not design things so that you need to edit the
upstream response body before sending it to the client.

So: what is the output of "curl -v" on the first request?

What do you want the output to be, in your design?
