nchan nchan_redis_pass in http context

What is the effect of specifying nchan_redis_pass in http context? I assumed it would be set for all servers and locations using nchan, but it wasn't.

It functions just like proxy_pass -- that is, it's bound to specific locations, and is not inherited from a higher-level location or http{} block

But proxy_pass cannot be set in an http block -- so what is the meaning/result of setting nchan_redis_pass in an http block?

I use it during development combined with some other development settings, but to the end user it has no purpose and should only be used in location{} blocks.

Thanks for the info! Are there other options without effect if placed in http context? It would be great if you could update the documentation.
