Trouble adding /pma location to all virtual hosts

[B.R.]

Hello again,

I resorted to the "if" control structure because, without it, the

​To me, it seems that if you have an infinite llop problem, the redirect
condition is not correct.
I would redirect URI starting with 'http://' to the same starting with
'https://'. Once the 'https' location is requested, the redirect has no
effect anymore... with the supplemental benefit of Nginx automatically​

​sending a permanent 301 redirection and not a temporary 302 one (which is
the default, unless explicitly stated otherwise, if I remember well)​.

I would really prefer no to have to define separate "server" blocks for

​IMHO, that's the sorrect way of doing things. You could also listen for
IPv6 requests :o)
