format

The servers, error_pages and locations are defined in blocks, for example:

server {
	/* context */
}

Inside the server block, the context can be defined in random order, on a single line ending with a semilocom or in a block (locations & error_pages). Multiple values are seperated by a comma. The following options are available, if not set they will use their default values:

server {
	listen					localhost:80;
	server_names			default.org, www.default.org;
	index					index.html;
	client_max_body_size	1m;
	error_page {
		400 				error400.html;
		404 				error404.html;

	}
	location	/	{
		root				/;
		index				index.html;
		accept_files		off;
		cgi					.php;
		directry_listening	on;
		allowed_methods		GET, POST, DELETE;
		storage				storage;
		return				400 error400.html;
	}
