$ancient_browser - always 1?

[Jeffrey 'jf' Lim]

as per subject, I'm playing around with the http browser module right now,
and I just can't seem to get it to work.

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpBrowserModule itself seems confused as well. In
the first part ("Selection of the index file"), it uses the format
'modern_browser msie 5.5' - while in Examples, this format is pointed out as
broken.

Either way - I'm expecting for the value of $ancient_browser to only be set
when nginx actually detects an ancient browser as set up by the
'ancient_browser ...' lines. However, it seems that even without specifying
any ancient_browser lines, the $ancient_browser value is set?


to show a snippet of my nginx.conf:
========
location / {
    if ($ancient_browser) {
        redirect .* /${ancient_browser}.html redirect;
    }
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1000;
}
========

This triggers the redirect no matter what - FF3, MSIE 7, MSIE 8, ...

Am i doing anything wrong here? I'm using nginx 0.8.54, compiled from
nginx.org (and I havent disabled the http browser module)

thanks,
-jf
