Why must the 'server_name' directive be explicitly defined in each server block?

Because it is deprecated and must be redefined for compatibility

Because it must match the DNS records for the domain

Because it is a security-sensitive directive that cannot be shared

Because it is not inherited from the http context

An administrator has `gzip on;` at the `http` block level. A `server` block for a legacy application sets `gzip off;`. A `location` block within that server for `/legacy` sets `gzip on;`. What is the effective `gzip` setting for requests to `/legacy`?

Off, because the location block cannot override the server block's setting.

Off, because the server block's setting overrides the http block and the location inherits from the server.

On, because the location block overrides the server block's setting.

On, because the http block's setting is the highest-level and always applies.
