When it happens to be http traffic it works. if you look at the line  
directive lines,

proxy\_pass http://$http\_host$uri$is\_args$args; // Doesnt work  
proxy\_pass http://$http\_host$uri$is\_args$args; // Works

```
server {
    listen 8080;

    location / {
        resolver 8.8.8.8;
        proxy_pass http://$http_host$uri$is_args$args; // Doesn't 

```

work  
proxy\_pass http://$http\_host$uri$is\_args$args; // Works  
}

```
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root html;
    }
}

```
