2348	documentation uses incorrect quotes results in config file error	dlai.mobile@…		"The web page: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/

contains a few example configs for auth_basic

The examples use the wrong quote (ie. “” versus """" characters) - if you copy the examples into a config file nginx will not start - and complains of configuration errors.

The documentation says (in 2 places):

location /api {
    auth_basic “Administrator’s Area”;
    #...
}

Note the quote characters used.

It should read instead:

location /api {
    auth_basic ""Administrator’s Area"";
    #...
}
