Why is nginx passing socket path in domain name?

Question

Nginx

I have nginx configured to accept all incoming requests regardless of the domain name

listen 80 default_server;
  listen [::]:80 default_server;

These requests are sent to the wsgi application.

location / {
        proxy_pass http://app_server;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_redirect off;
        charset  utf-8;
    }

Quite regularly I get an application error

Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '/path/to/wsgi.sock:'. The domain name provided is not valid according to RFC 1034/1035.

Please tell me how to fix this.
