The HTTP server section, or the HTTP configuration context, is available unless you have built NGINX without the HTTP module (--without-http
). This section controls all aspects of working with the HTTP module and will probably be the one that you will use the most.
The configuration directives found in this section deals with handling the HTTP connections. As such, there are quite a number of directives defined by this module. We will divide these directives up by type, to be able to talk about them more easily.
This set of directives deals with the aspects of the client connection itself, as well as with different types of client.
