I use nginx 0.7.61 (with patch to fix VU#180065) I read this in the wiki << Since nginx 0.7.12, an empty server name is supported, to catch the requests without "Host" header. >> however, I get this error "the first server name must not be empty" then I can not catch these requests thanks Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,9695,11844#msg-11844
