Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a case where the proxied application stops working if the default Host header (proxy_set_header Host $host) is set. This is done automatically by nginx-proxy-manager.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a checkbox (unchecked by default) to create a "raw" proxy where only the proxy_pass directive is set in the configuration file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives I can think of.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how proxy host form settings become the nginx configuration and identify where default proxy headers are added. Done means an unchecked option produces a proxy configuration containing only proxy_pass, while the existing behavior remains unchanged by default.
