I suspect he was hoping for a bit more detail, and more depth on using if vs using multiple server blocks. Your answer is slightly light on detail. Actually, the official docs suggest moving if s to the server block when possible to avoid some of the known limitations. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Nice, thanks! Thank you! What versions of nginx does this work on? I can't get it working on 1. Why not just use map instead?

Thanks, worked great. Seems, you are not familiar with map, or do not like it. More short and elegant: ":" is used just like delimiter, you can use any other symbol not used in checked variables. Edit: Worked like a charm!

Thanks for the tutorial! You are a god :D. Regards, Naveen. You truly are the king of kings. Awesome man, thanks. How to write this condition? DigitalOcean home. Community Control Panel.
