Description

After updating to 1.6.3, if(false) does not work.

set $test false;
set $test2 false;
if ($test) {
    set $test2 true;
}
add_header X-test "$test2";

This setting will set X-test header "true".
In 1.6.2, it worked perfectly and X-test header was "false".

There are no special "true" and "false" values in nginx. Both "true" and "false" are just strings in the configuration provided, and both are true values from nginx point of view, quoting the "if" directive description:

a variable name; false if the value of a variable is an empty string or “0”;

It works this way since nginx 0.3.8. That is, both 1.6.3 and 1.6.2 do the same.
