nginx conf in readme.rst and config.rst

[Kenan Erdogan]

Hi, first I must say I am really not competent at nginx. While reading README.rst and CONFIG.rst files, I realized a difference in nginx configurations.

In README.rst in location /secure first shib_request and shib_request_use_headers are called and then more_clear_input_headers is called. But in CONFIG.rst it is vice versa. Does this mean the order there is not important at all? For me the one in CONFIG.rst looks correct.

Thanks a lot!

For these types of directives, the ordering doesn't matter -- they're all applied to the location block. For some other types of nginx directives (such as allow and deny etc; not specifically related to this project), order will matter.

In terms of consistency in the docs for this project, I recall the reason for some of the docs (eg https://github.com/nginx-shib/nginx-http-shibboleth#configuration) being in a different order was to highlight/separate out certain directives. That said, if you'd like you could make a pull request with a note about ordering or otherwise normalise the different configs to have same order. Up to you if you're keen, no worries otherwise!

Thanks a lot for the explanation. If order is not important, I think there is no need to change the documentation.
