Hi Valentin,

I have read that I should be using the location directive unless I have numerous mappings in other places.

In this case we have about a dozen mappings.

But I am curious if I used the location directive what would the above mapping example translate to so that it results in a $use_secure variable that we can include in another file so that it can be used inside multiple server blocks.

Why do we do it this way... b/c we have standardized templates for the core server blocks and mappings specific to the domain are prepended to the main file.
