main context means it come directly in nginx.conf

http context means it should be put inside http{ }
server context means it should be in server { }

likewise..

You can search the directive like http://nginx.org/r/xxxxx_xxxx

For eg: http://nginx.org/r/stream

check the context where that directive is applicable ..since stream says
main..if you put like

http{
stream
...
...
}

it will be invalid syntax .
