Make sure that requests for this subdirectory only are handled in a
specific location block.

Set the default index file within that location block.

When a request comes in, first the one server{} to handle it is chosen.

Then the one location{} to handle it within that server{} is chosen.

You will probably want your new location, which will probably use "^~",
to be in the same server{} block as the rest of your configuration.
