http://nginx.org/r/if

That's good. Note that "if" inside "location" should not be used unless
you "return" or "rewrite...last", unless you know what you are doing.

But where you have it, inside server{}, is fine.

* The number of "-" in the file name looks wrong.

http://nginx.org/r/map -- correct, "map" only goes at http level.

You can refer to the variable that it creates, at server level.
