An NGINX configuration has an add_header directive in the http block and a different add_header directive for the same header in a server block. What will happen to the header when a request is served by that server?

The configuration will fail to load due to a conflict.

The server block's value will override the http block's value.

Both values will be sent as separate headers.

The http block's value will be used because it is defined at a higher level.

In which NGINX configuration context can the add_header directive be used?

http, server, location, and if in location

A company wants to add a 'Strict-Transport-Security' header to all responses from their NGINX server to enforce HTTPS. Which directive should be used in the server block?

proxy_set_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;

add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;

response_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;

set_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;

In an NGINX reverse proxy configuration, which statement correctly describes the scope of proxy_set_header?

It affects the request headers sent to the upstream server.

It affects the response headers sent to the client.

It affects only the headers of the initial client request before proxying.

It affects both the request to the upstream and the response to the client.

An administrator has a server block with the following configuration: ``` server { listen 80; add_header X-Server "nginx"; location /api/ { add_header X-Server "api"; proxy_pass http://backend; } } ``` A client requests /api/data. What will be the value of the X-Server header in the response?

Both 'nginx' and 'api' as separate headers.

No X-Server header will be sent.
