Your config says

Presumably your system resolver resolves the word "localhost" to the
IPv6 address [::1]?

If you change your config to

    proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:1080/files/;

does it do what you want?

(The alternative, of configuring your system resolver to resolve
"localhost" to the IPv4 address 127.0.0.1, is probably more work.)

That does not answer the main question you asked; but might resolve the
immediate issue.

Cheers,
