Free nginx: repository links.
Repositories are now under freenginx.org/hg/. Only essential repositories
are preserved for now: in particular, dev examples are no longer provided,
so the relevant section from the devguide was removed.

Variables are evaluated in the run-time during the processing of each request, so they are rather costly compared to plain static configuration. Using variables to store static strings is also a bad idea. Instead, a macro expansion and "include" directives should be used to generate configs more easily and it can be done with the external tools, e.g. sed + make or any other common template mechanism. </para> </section> </article>
