No.

Can you say where you got that impression? Perhaps documentation can be
clarified or corrected.


The request is handled in one location block.

Only the configuration in, or inherited into, that location block,
matters.

Configuration in the location block overrides anything that might otherwise
have been inherited.

"add_header" here means that no "add_header" directives are inherited --
only these two apply.

That is working as intended.

If you want configuration in the location block, put all of the
configuration in the location block.
