default page

[Marcos Neves]

My current solution works:

location = /favicon.ico {
         if (!-f $request_filename) {
           rewrite ^.*$ /favicon.ico.default;
         }
       }
       location = /favicon.ico.default {
         internal;
         alias html/favicon.ico;
         break;
       }

but would be nice if possible to do this:


location = /favicon.ico {
         if (!-f $request_filename) {
         alias html/favicon.ico;
         break;
         }

But alias can´t be used inside an if. Why that?
