Hello,

Thank you.

Is this recommended/only configuration for this in my case - according
to wiki from the link above (>
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location):
"While nested locations are allowed by the configuration file parser,
their use is discouraged and may produce unexpected results. "

Also could you please advise why the SHA and MD5 encryption for the
basic authentication is not working for me. I receive password mismatch
errors in the log files
