Sad limitation with an if block

Server NGINX
1

I wanted to do a conditional addition to fastcgi params:

if ($http_host ~* ‘secure-’) {
fastcgi_param HTTPS on;
}

However, nginx returns with “fastcgi_param is not allowed here”

Any way to allow fastcgi_params to be included in a dynamic block?

Try this instead:

set $secure "";
if (...) {
   set $secure "on";
}

fastcgi_param HTTPS $secure;
