Hello,

Thank you.

Is this recommended/only configuration for this in my case - according to wiki from the link above (> http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location):
"While nested locations are allowed by the configuration file parser, their use is discouraged and may produce unexpected results. "

Also could you please advise why the SHA and MD5 encryption for the basic authentication is not working for me. I receive password mismatch errors in the log files
