Module directives
At each of the three levels, directives can be inserted in order to affect the behavior of the web server. The following is a list of all directives that are introduced by the main HTTP module, grouped thematically. For each directive, an indication regarding the context is given. Some cannot be used at certain levels. For instance, it would make no sense to insert a server_name
directive at the http
block level, since server_name
is a directive directly affecting a virtual host—it should only be inserted in the server
block. To that extent, the table indicates the possible levels where each directive is allowed—the http
block, the server
block, the location
block, and additionally the if
block, later introduced in the Rewrite module section.
