I understand.I really appreciate it. This has just become a high
priority - I am starting to get nginx adopted at work (Fortune 60
company) and if I can't provide full realms of password protection
it's a bit embarrasing. I want to switch from Lighttpd as soon as
possible.

I will try the nested location block for now. I didn't think that
worked reliably enough yet but perhaps that is a more complex type of
nested location need.
