apologies for the simple question, but i could only find the opposite situation in the list archives and I haven't had to reconfigure some of these routes in years!

i have

# works
location /foo {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6543;
}

I want to lock down /foo/admin with basic auth

# works
location /foo/admin {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6543;
auth_basic "Administrator Login";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/_htpasswd/well-known;
}

Is there a syntax for nesting the two together, so the /foo/admin would inherit the /foo configuration without the need to redeclare everything?

# something like
location /foo {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6543;
location /foo/admin {
auth_basic "Administrator Login";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/_htpasswd/well-known;
}
}
