nginx stream module - listen not provided

[baranyaib90@…]

Nginx stream module works without server's listen directive.
Does this makes any sense? :S

$ cat >nginx.conf
daemon off;
user nobody;
error_log stderr info;
events {
  worker_connections 1000;
}
stream
{
  upstream backends
  {
    server 10.0.0.3:21;
    server 10.0.0.4:21;
  }
  server
  {
    proxy_pass backends;
  }
}
$ ./nginx -p . -c nginx.conf &

In 6657:3d5202c71f94/nginx:

Ensure "listen" exists in a mail or stream server (ticket #1049).

Thanks, fixed that.
