Description

I was following the Letsecure.me guide, using the "Final secured Nginx configuration".

By mistake, I omitted the ';' after "index index.html".

The problem is that sudo nginx -t && sudo nginx -s reload did not show any error, but the redirect returned an empty URI:

wget http://mydomain
[...]
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https:/// [following]
https:///: Invalid host name.

This is because the index directive can take multiple parameters, and omitted ';' after it doesn't make the syntax incorrect in most cases. Instead, the next directive in the configuration and its parameters are interpreted as additional index parameters.
