[OT] Nginx config second look

Mark Haney <mark.haney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:57:37 -0400

Could someone with nginx experience take a look at my config and tell me if it works?  I can't really test it in-house so I'm hoping someone has done something similar.  
Right now, I have two server blocks:

One to redirect example.com to www.example.com
server {
	listen		443;
	server_name	example.com;
	return		301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}

And another as the default server (for www.example.com)
server {
	listen 443 default_server ssl;
}

I would really like to collapse that into one server block, something like this:
server {
	listen 443 ssl; 
	server_name	example.com;
	return		301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}

Is this the proper way to do this?  Or should I just stick with the way I have it now? This is a working, production configuration, in case anyone is curious. I've googled articles that suggest this is the way to do it, but can't truly test it in-house.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
