Perhaps a bug was fixed, and it should never have worked? I think that
without a specific complete problem report, it is going to be difficult
to learn how things were.

Does everything work as you want if you revert to your previous version
of nginx?

For me, if I use that config fragment in some supporting config, and
make some suitable http requests, the only way $sub_domain is 0 is if
I set Host to 0.salva.link.

If you can include a complete but small config with clear instructions
on how to generate the unexpected output that you see, there is a much
better chance that someone else will be able to reproduce it.


Back to your original problem report:

  nginx -T | grep 'location\|server'

might show enough of your actual running config to see where a request
for /index.cfm is handled. Limit the output to just the server{} block
that handles the request, if you have multiple unrelated server{}s in
the config.
