Re: issue with ssl_ciphers not being respected

Something else must be going on here. Looking at your ssl_cipher
string, you're opening with a rough declaration of specific ciphers you'll
support, none of which should pull in RC4. It's specific enough in fact
that your subsequent excluded ciphers don't even come into play. To test
this I switched in my old RSA cert, rebuilt 1.7.6 against OpenSSL 1.0.1j,
and hit it with `nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers www.ossuary.net` and the
results with your exact string and removing the exclusions returned
identical supported options from the server on both runs, none of which
were RC4.
As for the location, in my tests this was defined within the server{}
block. Without seeing your entire config, if you witness RC4 as truly being
offered my guesses would be that it's declared in a place which is being
ignored so nginx falls back to the default value, there is a second less
strict declaration somewhere (maybe in an include) overriding it, or there
is a proxy in front which is doing the actual termination.
