I can’t get error\_page override default error pages when using it in  
HTTP  
context (rather than server {} / location {}).  
Can someone share a real-world working example?

# == http { error\_page 404 /404.html; server { listen 8080; } }

$ echo my-404 \> html/404.html

$ curl [http://127.0.0.1:8080/not-there](http://127.0.0.1:8080/not-there)  
my-404
