Nginx failing to ask for PEM SSL key password

[lakarjail]

I see your point there. Thank you for the link. It made me wondering why
"SSLPassPhraseDialog" from Apache was not as well added on Nginx.

Indeed, I am looking for a solution that wouldn't decrease the global
security of my system. I can not consider leaving the password of a PEM key
in cleartext like "ssl_password_file" solution proposed by Nginx, nor to
remove the password of the key cert file for obvious and same reasons. 

What solution do I have then, solution that would be clean enough in terms
of security, and to ensure that next nginx updates won't cause problems?
