Works fine here, just tested.

Note though that the "master_process" directive is intended for 
use by developers only, see http://nginx.org/r/master_process.  It 
has various known issues - in particular, it cannot correctly 
handle configuration reloads - and using it for anything but 
development is a bad idea.  Don't use it unless you understand 
what you are doing and prepared to deal with resulting issues 
yourself.
