My nginx is configure as a reverse proxy (http and https).
I want to allow some ip to access both for example 10.10.10.10.
Others are allow to access only https and get a permanent redirect on
http to https except for specific url where I allow http/https for
exemple directory /documentation.

Whar is the best way ? to configure 2 location ?

Thanks for your answer.
