Yes, that is what it means. The request is handled in a location{}, with proxy_pass. If there is any proxy_set_header in that location{}, then only those proxy_set_header values are used. If not, then if there is any proxy_set_header in the surrounding server{}, then only those proxy_set_header values are used. If not, then if there is any proxy_set_header in the surrounding http{}, then only those proxy_set_header values are used. In the same way, if "proxy_busy_buffers_size" is set in the location{}, that value is used; if not, if "proxy_busy_buffers_size" is set in the server{}, that value is used; if not, if "proxy_busy_buffers_size" is set in http{}, that value is used. In general in nginx (with a few exceptions) directive inheritance is "not at all", or "by replacement". > Per our experience, these directives only work on location level.

But if it has "proxy_set_header" in the location{}, then any proxy_set_header outside that location is irrelevant for this request. f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
