I think it would be more convenient to manage Nginx from webpage than  
command line.Any suggesions?

You can manage this with pretty any scripting language (php/lua/perl  
etc) ..

As Reinis points out, you can achieve this using any scripting  
language you care to expose via nginx.

It doesn’t, however, have any place being implemented inside nginx  
itself. It would add unnecessary code, complexity and risk to the  
daemon.
