proxy_pass
The documentation here http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_pass is not clear to me. The syntax says: proxy_pass URL

but the examples show a second parameter. This leads to a syntax error. I am a bit shy to edit a reference page mayself, so I would like others to have a look into this.

 I do not see any such example. Can you please paste one here? - Cliff 

Meaning of special characters
Is there such a page? For example, what does the caret character mean in ? "Beginning of string", as it means in regular expressions? --  Dandv ( talk &#124; contribs ) 22:58, 09 July 2011 (PDT)

The variable $http_host should be explained
See http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#.24host: "This variable may have a different value from  when the   input header is absent or has an empty value."

But where is  explained? --  Dandv ( talk &#124; contribs ) 10:10, 10 July 2011 (MSD)

fastcgi_split_path_info example typo
I believe the PATH_TRANSLATED value in this example from the fastcgi_split_path_info example is incorrect.

From http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFastcgiModule#fastcgi_split_path_info: location ~ ^.+\.php { (...)   fastcgi_split_path_info ^((?U).+\.php)(/?.+)$; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/php$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info; (...) }

fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info; should be fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
