add_header directives in location overwriting add_header directives in server
- by user64204
Using nginx 1.2.1 I am able to add multiple headers using add_header as follows:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www;
add_header Name1 Value1; <=== HERE
add_header Name2 Value2; <=== HERE
location / {
echo "Nginx localhost site";
}
}
GET /
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Name1: Value1
Name2: Value2
However I soon as I use the add_header directive inside location, the other add_header directives under server are ignored
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
root /var/www;
add_header Name1 Value1; <=== HERE
add_header Name2 Value2; <=== HERE
location / {
add_header Name3 Value3; <=== HERE
add_header Name4 Value4; <=== HERE
echo "Nginx localhost site";
}
}
GET /
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Name3: Value3
Name4: Value4
The documentation says that both server and location are valid context and doesn't state that using add_header in one prevents using it in the other.
Q1: Do you know if this is a bug or the intended behaviour and why?
Q2: Do you see other options to get this fixed than using the HttpHeadersMoreModule module?
