The report I thought I was responding to was that a variable that is
"set" inside an "if" inside a "location", does not appear to have the
"set" value outside that "if" (for the access_log directive).

In that case, defining the variable in a "map" at "http" level and only
referring to it in the access_log directive, should Just Work.

If it doesn't work for you, then I guess you'll need to find some
alternative.

Good luck with it,
