map $uri in 1.3.0+ NOT working in 1.6.0+

[nikolaos2012]

Hi Valentin,

I have read that I should be using the location directive unless I have
numerous mappings in other places.

In this case we have about a dozen mappings.

But I am curious if I used the location directive what would the above
mapping example translate to so that it results in a $use_secure variable
that we can include in another file so that it can be used inside multiple
server blocks.

Why do we do it this way... b/c we have standardized templates for the core
server blocks and mappings specific to the domain are prepended to the main
file.
