Stripping out query parameter?

[Neil Sheth]

Hmmm, I'm getting:

# nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
2009/03/03 05:05:07 [emerg] 10550#0: invalid number of arguments in
"set" directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:170
2009/03/03 05:05:07 [emerg] 10550#0: the configuration file
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

Not sure what the error is here.  Also, not sure if this rule belongs
at the server level, or within my "location / " section . . .
