The method mentioned above *is* the canonical way to do that. It's in
the docs somewhere.

Anything else will be a hack of some kind, strongly influenced by your
specific nginx setup.  You'll need to give more complete information
about the nuances of the shared hosting setup in order for someone to
work out if there's a way to achieve what you want to.

You have the wrong signature separator here. It's not "---"
(dash-dash-dash), it's "-- " (dash-dash-space).
