error when adding add_header to nginx

Question

I am trying to add "add_header" to nginx but the reload is failing:

add_header

add_header Allow "GET, POST, HEAD" always;

When I run nginx -t, it points to this line mentioning I am passing too many parameters. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

url for add_header:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_headers_module.html#add_header
