Thanks for your help!
No problem. You could look at using a map to achieve the config deduplication you're aiming for. Something like this (typed, but not tested or syntax-checked!) ------------------------------------ http { map $uri $map_output { default ""; ~ \.txt "value2"; ~ \.css "value2"; } server { location ~ /(dir1/)?dir2/ { add_header X-My-Header value1; add_header X-My-Static $map_output; proxy_pass http://myproxy; } } } ------------------------------------ This will also have the effect of wiping out inbound X-My-Static headers, which you could get round by referencing them in the default map output if you really needed them to be passed through ...
