301 is permanent; 302 is temporary.

301 preserves the request method; 302 changes it to GET.

An administrator has configured an HTTP-to-HTTPS 301 redirect on NGINX. After testing with curl -I http://example.com, the administrator receives a 301 response, but the Location header is missing. What is the most likely cause?

The redirect is configured with a 302 status code instead of 301.

The return directive is missing the URL argument, so NGINX sends a 301 without a Location header.

The server block is listening on port 443 instead of port 80.

The ssl_certificate directive is misconfigured, causing NGINX to omit the Location header.

An administrator is configuring HTTPS on NGINX and has placed the certificate and key files in the /etc/nginx/ssl/ directory. The administrator runs nginx -t and receives the error 'cannot load certificate key'. What is the most likely cause?

The server block is listening on port 80 instead of port 443.

The private key file does not have read permission for the NGINX worker process user.

The certificate file is in PEM format instead of DER format.

The ssl_certificate directive is missing from the configuration.

In a server block that redirects HTTP to HTTPS, what does the variable `$request_uri` represent?

The protocol used in the request.

The path to the requested file on the server.
