660	Documentation on `location` directive lacks info on prefix strings	Alex Dieulot		"The following configuration code in nginx will match any request URI starting by `/ftg`:
{{{
location /ftg {
}}}

There’s no explicit indication of that behavior in [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location nginx’s documentation on `location`]. We have to guess it from the examples (B and C).

I think it should be made clear that this is available, that a slash without a sign before will match the suffix. As it is now, it’s confusing."	defect	closed	minor		other	1.7.x	worksforme				_
