Thanks Maxim. Sorry I missed the earlier post.

I've edited the English proxy_set_header docs, though there's still
some ambiguity because I don't know whether the inheritance is from
every higher level or just from the next highest one that has a
proxy_set_header directive.

One other thing: I couldn't find any English docs about quoting of
directive parameters, Looking at the source, it appears that all
parameters can be wrapped with both single and double-quotes,
though I'm not sure how this interacts with variable expansion.
If you can give me an answer, I'll write it up on the Wiki, probably
