Description

hello,
when i use nginx all versions as a proxy server.
i found the ngx_http_referer_module did not work as expected.
i configure it like this:

valid_referers none blocked server_names $host;

i use $host variable and it did not work as expected.
it is a BUG or not?
if it is not a BUG,i wish you can add this function in the next nginx version.
thanks.
Merry Christmas!

Variables are not supported by the valid_referers directive, and the $host string will be checked literally.

Additionally, I don't see how it make sense here - the server_names parameter already allows everything matched by the server{} block in question (unless you are configuring this in a default server). What problem you are trying to solve?
