<br><div>Inorder to make a simple UI for editing nginx.conf. I need a way to edit nginx.conf without having to open it up in a text editor. Does nginx have an api that i can use to edit information that is inside nginx.conf. This will help newbies add virtual host information and edit parameters via a UI.</div>
