Forum: NGINX Nginx Location Matching Documentation Update

I would recommend that the documentation for location matching is 
updated
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location, explicitaly the example. 
It
should contain a conventional strings besides the root '/' of the site:

location  = / {
  # matches the query / only.
  [ configuration A ]
}
location  / {
  # matches any query, since all queries begin with /, but regular
  # expressions and any longer conventional blocks will be
  # matched first.
  [ configuration B ]
}
location ^~ /images/ {
  # matches any query beginning with /images/ and halts searching,
  # so regular expressions will not be checked.
  [ configuration C ]
}
location /media/ {
  # matches any query beginning with /media/ and continues serching,
  # so regular expressions will be checked. This will be matched only if
  # regular expressions don't find a match
  [ configuration D ]
}
location ~* \.(gif|jpg|jpeg)$ {
  # matches any request ending in gif, jpg, or jpeg. However, all
  # requests to the /images/ directory will be handled by
  # Configuration C.
  [ configuration E ]
}

I don't know who could I ask about this, but I think that it's important
that all 4 explained steps in the documentation are covered by the 
example.

You're referring to the community wiki, not documentation. Feel free to 
update
it yourself.

The documentation is here: http://nginx.org/en/docs/

This wiki article was originated as a translation of official
documentation in Russian (which is now available in English, too,
see http://nginx.org/r/location), and I always asked people to
don't deviate from official docs but keep it as a translation,
keeping comments/suggestions/additional notes separate from an
article.

And I actually think that suggested change will be good for
understanding, and it would be good to add it to official
documentation.

Ruslan?

Sorry for a late reply and thanks for your help. I did update the wiki
documentaion http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location, I hope it is 
ok
and that location matching will now be clearer to new Nginx users.
