I added this to the http section: map $http_x_capdata_auth $not_auth { default 1; "authorized" 0; } and this to the location section: if ($not_auth) { return 401; } and it's always returning a 401, even if there is a header: X-Capdata-Auth: authorized And I doing something wrong here? How can I debug this? _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
