2.0.0 (2017-05-06)

V2.0.0. [AD7six]
Add defaults to all directives in nginx.conf. [Andy Dawson]

The reason most of these are changed is already covered by the existing doc block

closes #127
Updated gzip_types and charset_types. [Tobias Reich]

… both are now using the same coding convention. Each type in its own row and text/html comment at the top (where all comments are placed).
Added mime types for JPEG-XR, markdown, and CSV. [JoeArizona]

Remove cache-control public and better handle svgz files. [Matthew Miller]

Fixes: #86

Fixes: #134
Don't use expire headers in doc examples. [Andy Dawson]
Use Cache-Control max-age instead of Expires headers. [Alan Orth]

Cache-Control max-age was introduced in HTTP/1.1 over ten years ago and is preferred to Expires. This replaces all expiry dates with an equivalent max-age in seconds.

See: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/optimizing-content-efficiency/http-caching See: https://www.mnot.net/blog/2007/05/15/expires_max-age
Remove references to Cache-Control public. [Alan Orth]

A previous commit removed some, but missed these. Where a location directive was using Expires to set a future expiry in conjunction with Cache-Control public, I have replaced the time with an equal max-age.

Furthermore, Google's web performance guide says that "public" is implicit if there is a max-age specified.

See: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/optimizing-content-efficiency/http-caching
Enable IPv6 for no-default. [Johannes Müller]
Remove Unnecessary Trailing Semicolon. [0ri0n]

No need to add a semicolon for the last directive. In addition, having that unnecessary semicolon causes the HSTS tool (https://hstspreload.org/) for getting on the preload list to fail with an error about the semicolon.
Update ssl_ciphers To Latest Mozilla Intermediate. [0ri0n]

Updates to latest ciphers list for Mozilla Intermediate, which also adds support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305.
Always add security-relevant headers to the response, regardless of the response code (implements #147) [Leon Klingele]

From nginx' add_header documentation:
```
add_header Adds the specified field to a response header provided that
the response code equals 200, 201, 204, 206, 301, 302, 303, 304, or 307.
```
At least for all security-relevant headers this should not be the case and the header should always be added.

Closes #134
Preload added to ssl.conf. [root]

Add an ssl no-default example. [Andy Dawson]

I.e. an example of this:

-> curl -kI -H "Host: valid.com" https://localhost
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
-> curl -kI -H "Host: invalid.com" https://localhost
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

Whether this works or not depends on SNI.

Updated ssl.exemple.com to use http2 instead of spdy. [Buzut]

http2 is available in nginx since nginx 1.9.5. Therefor it's better to use the standard.
Documentation inconsistent with file structure. [Edward Granger]
Fix capitalization of includeSubDomains. [Chris Chapman]
Correct syntax for keepalive_timeout. [Alan Orth]

It doesn't seem to be a fatal error, but the keepalive_timeout value actually requires "s" (for seconds). Another occurence of this was fixed in 35434b3361b04beb028f602c78a9331ef4967a0d but these slipped through.

See h5bp/server-configs-apache#31 for well-known change.
Update media types in nginx.conf [Philipp Becker]
Minor extension of the alphabetical sorting of media types. [Philipp Becker]
Added FreeBSD w/ ZFS performance instructions. [Goran]

On FreeBSD systems with ZFS, sendfile() is useless as ZFS's caching subsystem (adaptive replacement cache a.k.a ARC) already caches most frequently used files in RAM. Disabling sendfile() avoids redundant data caching.

Update CHANGELOG.md [Cătălin Mariș]

Update CHANGELOG.md [Cătălin Mariș]
Remove the .manifest → text/cache-manifest mapping. [Cătălin Mariș]

Four years ago the recommended file extension for AppCache manifest files was changed¹ from .manifest to .appcache. So, even adding into consideration the transitional period, it no longer makes sense to keep the configurations that ensure that .manifest files are served with the AppCache required text/cache-manifest media type.

Also, recently, .manifest became one of the recommended file extensions for web application manifest² files.

Remove include directive in ssl.example.com. [Philipp Becker]

To include the SSL related directives in the port 80 server block seems to be redundant. Because we are redirecting explicit all incoming traffic via port 80 to the HTTPS host on port 443 where only the secure-connection-magic is happen.

Maybe I am missing something, but I tested the configuration under the following system and encountered no negative side effects:

Removed "includeSubDomains" [Daniel Marquard]

As a best practice, Nginx should only direct clients to use the certificate on specified domains. This is because not all servers using other subdomains necessarily listen on 443 and because, unless it is a wildcard certificate, it likely won't be valid on subdomains other than WWW.

Add configs for cursor images (.cur) [Oskar S. Jakieła]

Apply all the configs used for .ico files to .cur files as the two image formats are almost identical.

The MIME type for the .cur file doesn't matter as browsers seem to sniff the content. However, image/x-icon is specified because it's the one usually used for .ico file and because it's shorther then the other frequentlly used one (image/vnd.microsoft.icon), making the header size smaller.

See also:

Don't map the .jsonp extension to the JS MIME type. [Cătălin Mariș]

Update nginx/nginx.conf. [nvartolomei]
Update gzip_disable option to match best practice. [James Aitken]

Nginx recommend to use the string msie6 instead of the previously recommended regex.

The string matches the same stuff as the regex, but is faster according to their docs.

See: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html#gzip_disable
Correct cache headers for webfonts. [AD7six]

Only one location match is ever executed - therefore the relevant location match must contain all relevant rules.

cross-domain-fonts is included by default, therefore for right now add the cache rules for these requests directly to the cross-domain-fonts.conf file

fixes h5bp/server-configs#85 fixes h5bp/server-configs#86

Thanks to @MisterJack
Split the default server config. [AD7six]

Make it possible to pick and mix server rules.
Improve READMEs. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Rename default.conf to example.com. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]

This should encourage users to keep the config files indexed by domain name
Per-site configuration, using two server blocks. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Correct syntax error. [Andy Dawson]
Cleanup mess made doing pointless merge. [Chris McKee]
Revert "Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' (HLBP Master Server Configs)" [Chris McKee]

This reverts commit 19aa2e8a56ee3366feb99207aa6a43d498d92a0f, reversing changes made to 1007c16e697790da227fab1b7ade6343be02ddb6.
Only include conf files. [AD7six]
Don't need this "hint" symlink. [AD7six]

there's a readme instead.
Adding readm files to sites-available/enabled. [AD7six]
Remove embedded config lost in merge. [AD7six]
Use sites-available vhost style. [AD7six]

If there is only one host - this doesn't add any problems, and makes it easier to isolate changes related to the host from that of the host in general.

When more than one host is used, it makes things much, much simpler.
Add cache-control: no-transform header. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Cross-domain stuff. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Security tweaks, returning 403 if needed. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Add filename based cache busting. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Handle www to non-www redirect. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]

A secundary server block has been added. It'll listen on the www host and redirect to the non-www host.
Encourage users to use multiple virtual hosts. [Alessandro Vendruscolo]
Add the MIME type for AAC audio files. [Roland Warmerdam]
Update the nginx gzip MIME types. [Roland Warmerdam]
Use valid font mime types in the nginx config. [Roland Warmerdam]
Normalize whitespace. [AD7six]

make it easier to keep this file and the .htaccess file it is based upon in sync, by using the same indent
Syncing with latest H5BP .htaccess [Chris Jones]
Add the x-web-app-manifest-json mimetype for webapp files. [James Long]
Fix configuration syntax. http://wiki.nginx.org/ConfigurationSyntax. [Indrek Ardel]
Serve .mp4 and .m4v files as video/mp4 as per RFC 4337. [Mathias Bynens]

Closes h5bp/html5-boilerplate#1024. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4337#section-2.
Whoops - 1Y is not valid. [AD7six]

one year is 1y
Apparently this is the same header as apache serves. [AD7six]
Move all server configs into folders. [AD7six]

easier to organise. We could also possibly then simply add a README file toeach folder rather than use wiki pages - maybe.
Make xml application/xml. [AD7six]
Add json. [AD7six]
Add expire rules mimicking that of the apache config. [AD7six]

These rules are closer to the expire logic defined for apache, and also use a none-capturing regex which will be (unnoticably) faster.

Added a comment as to why there is no default expire header defined.
Do not set a default expire. [AD7six]

Unless your entire site is static it's inappropriate to do so - dynamic requests will be cached by the browser unless your application code overrides the expires which nginx is setting by default.
Added m4a/m4v mime types. [John-Scott Atlakson]

This was recently added upstream => http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/changeset/4252/nginx
Specify a charset. [ram]
Use the correct MIME type for XHTML files. [Mathias Bynens]
Add mime types from default mime.types. [James McKinney]
Updating configs to match H5BP .htaccess defaults. [Mike Almond]
Add mime type for .wav files. [Tinnet Coronam]

'x-wav' seems to be the standard, but could also be 'wav' or 'wave' or 'vnd.wav' according to wikipedia
We also need application/x-javascript for google chrome. [Iurii Ogiienko]
Merge. i thinkkk. [Paul Irish]
Nginx.conf Improvements/Corrections. [sean]

Don't think it makes sense to turn this off for a single worker and it's on by default.

The docs indicate that Nginx will use the best method based on the available methods

Keepalive of 5 seems very low - i've seen recommendations of 10-20

gzip_proxied was set twice

gzip_static should be off unless actually used

default is deprecated

server_name _; shouldn't be used

Shoudn't use expires in the server {} block - should be inside location {}

Extra root lines not needed

gzip_comp_level seems too low

gzip_min_length seems too high
Added some comments to the nginx config relating to expires. [Mark Wolfe]
Added some comments to the nginx config relating to expires. [Mark Wolfe]
Specify 404 page. [Ben Hanzl]
Image/x-icon to match our htaccess. thx badboy. [Paul Irish]
Remove access logging for static files to save disk writes. [Graham Weldon]
Add to and fix typo in MIME types to be gzipped: [Paul Sarena]

Add text/x-component. It's listed in html5-boilerplate/.htaccess and is in our nginx-mime.types Fix application/xml+rss, should be application/rss+xml Comment indicating text/html is always compressed, so there's no need to include it

Nginx: js wasnt being gzipped. thanks poswald! fixes h5bp/server- configs#5. [Paul Irish]
Use the .appcache extension instead of .manifest, as per http://html5.org/r/5812 - thx mathias. [Paul Irish]
