Resolution: → invalid
Status: new → closed

If a directive can be specified multiple times, the directive description explicitly mentions this. For example, in case of the proxy_redirect directive the ​documentation explicitly says:

There could be several proxy_redirect directives:

proxy_redirect default;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/  /;
proxy_redirect http://www.example.com/ /;

If you know cases where documentation doesn't mentions this information - please point out particular directives.
