It's allowed in http, server, if in server, location, if in location
contexts.

With the following config

error_log /path/to/error_log notice;
rewrite_log on;

server {
listen 8080;
server_name zzz;
rewrite ^ /blah break;
}

you should see something like this in error_log:

2009/12/10 15:50:19 [notice] 12343#0: *1 "^" matches "/", client: 127.0.0.1, server: zzz, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0"
2009/12/10 15:50:19 [notice] 12343#0: *1 rewritten data: "/blah", args: "", client: 127.0.0.1, server: zzz, request: "GET / HTTP/1.0"

If you don't see such messages - either you have no rewrites
defined in matching server{} block, or your set logging level
higher than notice.
