I'm trying to add a location block to the defualt config of NGINX. I've dubplicated the homestead/scripts/site-types/larave.sh and added the code block below:

location ^~ /mysocket {
        #your proxy directives
        proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:1234;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_ssl_session_reuse on;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy false;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }

As result:

nginx: [emerg] invalid number of arguments in "proxy_set_header" directive

Whole code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -A params=$6       # Create an associative array
declare -A headers=${9}    # Create an associative array
declare -A rewrites=${10}  # Create an associative array
paramsTXT=""
if [ -n "$6" ]; then
   for element in "${!params[@]}"
   do
      paramsTXT="${paramsTXT}
      fastcgi_param ${element} ${params[$element]};"
   done
fi
headersTXT=""
if [ -n "${9}" ]; then
   for element in "${!headers[@]}"
   do
      headersTXT="${headersTXT}
      add_header ${element} ${headers[$element]};"
   done

   do

   done

echo "$block" > "/etc/nginx/sites-available/$1"
ln -fs "/etc/nginx/sites-available/$1" "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/$1"

Can someone spot the error I'm making? When I remove the the 'location' block the code is working fine. This code is also running on a live server without any problemen.

The problem was that I did not escape the variables inside the new block.

location ^~ /mysocket {
        #your proxy directives
        proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:1234;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_ssl_session_reuse on;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP \$remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forward-For \$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host \$http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy false;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade \$http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection upgrade;
    }
