Description

Hello,

I would like to suggest that you update your listen directive documentation located here:
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#listen

The document does not make any mention of the fact that starting in version 1.15.10, you can list ports as a range (e.g. 80-90). I only see this fact documented in the following blog:
https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-16-1-17-released/

While port ranges are currently supported in http due to the same parsing code, they are not expected to be used in http. And that's the reason why this is not documented and won't be. The blog post in question mentions http incorrectly, it shouldn't.
