754	add_header not being inherited by named location	Neil Craig		"Hi

I am developing an service based on nginx which uses it as a reverse proxy - similar to a CDN. My usage involves using the include config method from nginx to include several ""listeners"" (which in turn include some layer 7 routes - locations). My listeners include a named location which error pages are pointed at via:

error_page 400 =400 @default_error_pages;

location  @default_error_pages {
...
}

I came across what I believe is a bug this morning wherein the add_header methods used as global header setters in nginx.conf are not issued by requests which are served by my named location - even when I used the ""always"" flag - e.g. add_header ""Some-Header"" ""Some value"" always;. I haven't checked it out in huge detail but it may be that add_header isn't working at all in my named location.

I can work around the issue by using more_set_headers as I have this compiled in.

Happy to check things out if it'd be any use.
