Hi there, I'm not certain why you want to do the specific example that you want to do; but if I were doing the general "conditionally remove header" thing, I would probably use "map" to set a new variable "$my_value" based on your variable "$external_traffic".
If $external_traffic is 1, set $my_value to blank. Otherwise, set $my_value to $upstream_http_www_authenticate. And then always "proxy_hide_header WWW-Authenticate;" and "add_header WWW-Authenticate $my_value always;" If the value is blank, add_header does not write the header. And "always" is because you probably only get the WWW-Authenticate on a 401 response. http://nginx.org/r/map http://nginx.org/r/$upstream_http_ http://nginx.org/r/add_header (Note the standard caveats about directive inheritance, particularly regarding add_header, if that applies in your config.) Hope this helps! f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
