Unsupported nginx Directives

Most nginx directives work in Angie unchanged, so an existing configuration usually needs no adjustment. This page lists the exceptions, the directives that Angie removes, renames, or deprecates, so you can adapt your configuration when moving from nginx.

Low-level tuning directives that nginx itself leaves undocumented, such as event-method and gzip tuning knobs, keep working in Angie with their nginx defaults and are intentionally omitted here.

Note

For the end-to-end migration process, see the migration guide.

Removed or Omitted

These nginx directives have no Angie equivalent.

nginx directive	Notes
add_header_inherit, add_trailer_inherit	Omitted because of their poor design; see Angie Version History.

These directives still work but emit a warning; use the modern directive instead.
