Nginx proxy pass 404 error - CORS - apache

Question

I have configured a proxy_pass for an JAVA web service to enable cross origin. I can send a post request using the web service URL http://10.1.200.156:8080/ClientService/passwordReset/, but http://10.1.200.156/ClientService/passwordReset/ gives a 404 error. And client application gives, Response for preflight is invalid (redirect).
After searching the web I added proxy_set_header Host $http_host; to the Nginx configuration, but still no luck. Below, the Nginx configuration. Please help.
http {
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
types_hash_max_size 2048;

proxy_pass http://10.1.200.156:8080/ClientService/passwordReset/;
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
#add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
return 204;
}
if ($request_method = 'POST') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
}
if ($request_method = 'GET') {

add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';

}
}
}

You shouldn't include the URI when you're proxying. Try the following:
proxy_pass http://10.1.200.156:‌​8080;
