In my case this is not too good option. I need authentication layer
configuration to be independent from applications configuration. In
case of authentication (not only auth request but also auth basic)
repeating configuration for each location, without 'catch them all'
rule could lead to holes that are hard to notice. For example if I
configure authentication correctly for blog/*html but forget to do it
for blog/*.png the mistake will likely be unnoticed :/

Anyway, if there are no other options, I'll try using auth_request in
server{} section.

Thanks,
Jan
