Share directives between location blocks in nginx

Question

I have an nginx location block that should be delegated to uwsgi backend and provide http --> https redirection, so it goes as follows:

location  ~ ^/(api/v1) {
    if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != 'https') {
        rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
    }
     access_log my-access.log;
     error_log my-error.log;
     include uwsgi_params;
     uwsgi_read_timeout 300;
     uwsgi_send_timeout 300;
     uwsgi_param ..;
     uwsgi_param ..;
     etc ...
    }

What I want, is for a specific endpoint not to provide https redirection, so I am forced to do the following:

location  = /api/v1/my/more/specific/endpoint {
     access_log my-access.log;
     error_log my-error.log;
     include uwsgi_params;
     uwsgi_read_timeout 300;
     uwsgi_send_timeout 300;
     uwsgi_param ..;
     uwsgi_param ..;
     etc ...
    }

}

Is there a way nginx allows to avoid the above duplication of uwsgi parameters definition?

All of those parameters can be inherited from the `server` block level. See [this link](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_uwsgi_module.html). — Richard Smith, Mar 07 '18 at 13:36

2 options:

Move the params that have server context and must affect all locations our of the location block to the server block
Use include to share common code to avoid copy & paste

Includes another file, or files matching the specified mask, into configuration. Included files should consist of syntactically correct directives and blocks.
