A 301 to the same Location: url will be a redirect loop; a 301 to a
different url may not be.

So right now, without involving nginx at all, can you fully use your
application if you point your browser at http://gunicorn:8080/, or if
you point your browser at http://gunicorn:8080/prefix/ ?

Once the upstream / backend is in a known state, adding nginx in front
should be more straightforward.
