Hi,

I'm trying to enable basic authentication for a location like this:

location /admin {
                        auth_basic      "Restricted";
                        auth_basic_user_file /tmp/.trypass;
                        index index.php5;
                        allow 192.168.1.1;
                        deny all;
                }

When I try to connect to this location, if I use:

http://$servername/admin/ and I press Esc two times, nginx give me
out: 401 Authorization Required

If I try to connect to:

http://$servername/admin/index.php5 and I press Esc two times,
nginx allow me the access also if I don't have insert username and
password.

It's my mistake or it's a bug?

Thanks!
