I've reread your comment

	That is, the name you've written in the proxy_pass directive is 
	the actual hostname, and it will be used in the Host header when 
	creating requests to upstream server.  And it is also used in the 
	proxy_ssl_name, so it will be used during SSL handshake for SNI 
	and certificate verification.

	It's not just "an upstream name".  If you want it to be only an 
	upstream name, you'll have to redefine at least proxy_ssl_name and 
	"proxy_set_header Host".  (Well, not really, since $proxy_host is 
	also used at least in the proxy_cache_key, but this is probably 
	not that important.)

a bunch of times.  Still can't grasp it clearly.  Which is the source of the pebkac :-/

Otoh, simply _doing_

	Alternatively, you may want to use the real name, and define an 
	upstream{} block with that name.  This way you won't need to 
	redefine anything.

i.e., changing to EITHER

case (1):

	vhost config,

-		upstream test-upstream {
+		upstream test.example.com {
			server test.example.com:11111;
		}

		server {
			listen 10.10.10.1:443 ssl http2;
			server_name example.com;

			...
			location /app1 {

				proxy_ssl_verify       on;
				proxy_ssl_verify_depth 2;
				proxy_ssl_certificate         "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.client.crt";
				proxy_ssl_certificate_key     "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.client.key";
				proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

-				proxy_pass https://test-upstream/;
+				proxy_pass https://test.example.com/;
				proxy_ssl_server_name on;
				proxy_ssl_name test.example.com;

			}
		}

	and, upstream config

			server {
				listen 127.0.0.1:11111 ssl http2;
				server_name test.example.com;

				root /srv/www/test;
				index index.php;
				expires -1;

				ssl_certificate         "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.server.crt";
				ssl_certificate_key     "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.server.key";
				ssl_trusted_certificate "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

-				ssl_verify_client off;
+				ssl_verify_client on;
				ssl_verify_depth 2;
				ssl_client_certificate  "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

				location ~ \.php {
					try_files $uri =404;
					fastcgi_pass   phpfpm;
					fastcgi_index  index.php;
					fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
					include        includes/fastcgi/fastcgi_params;
				}

				error_log   /var/log/nginx/test.error.log  info;
			}

or

case (2):

	vhost config,

-		upstream test-upstream {
+		upstream JUNK {
			server test.example.com:11111;
		}

		server {
			listen 10.10.10.1:443 ssl http2;
			server_name example.com;

			...
			location /app1 {

				proxy_ssl_verify       on;
				proxy_ssl_verify_depth 2;
				proxy_ssl_certificate         "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.client.crt";
				proxy_ssl_certificate_key     "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.client.key";
				proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

-				proxy_pass https://test-upstream/;
+				proxy_pass https://test.example.com:11111/;
				proxy_ssl_server_name on;
				proxy_ssl_name test.example.com;

			}
		}

	and, upstream config

			server {
				listen 127.0.0.1:11111 ssl http2;
				server_name test.example.com;

				root /srv/www/test;
				index index.php;
				expires -1;

				ssl_certificate         "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.server.crt";
				ssl_certificate_key     "/etc/ssl/nginx/test.server.key";
				ssl_trusted_certificate "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

-				ssl_verify_client off;
+				ssl_verify_client on;
				ssl_verify_depth 2;
				ssl_client_certificate  "/etc/ssl/nginx/ca_int.crt";

				location ~ \.php {
					try_files $uri =404;
					fastcgi_pass   phpfpm;
					fastcgi_index  index.php;
					fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
					include        includes/fastcgi/fastcgi_params;
				}

				error_log   /var/log/nginx/test.error.log  info;
			}

now, in _either_ case, access to

	https://example.com/app1
	https://example.com/app1/

_does_ return my 'test' app correctly

i _do_ see in logs

in case (2), a single error instance,

but that error doesn't seem to be fatal.

any idea what's causing those^^ errors?
