2262	In server_name directive match of counts using {x,y} causes failure in parsing configuration	sjsadowski@…		"server {
        listen 80;
        server_name ~^api(\-dev|\-stage|\-www){0,1}\.example\.com$;

        access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log

        location / {
                return 200;
        }
}

Inside of a regular expression that is defined in the server name, the regex is parsed incorrectly

the culprit is here matching {x,y} which while non-standard is valid regex; in my case a developer had written {0,1} which should be fine, and when replaced with '?' it works as expected.
