Forum: NGINX Setting expires header to multiple locations

Currently I need to use tricks since I have multiple locations in my 
site
config.

e.g.

=====================================


location ~* /a {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }
}

location ~* /b {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }
}

location ~* /c {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }
}


=====================================

Are there any better way to write it?


Thanks.

put in separate file and include it in each blocks?

Going against Igor, Maxim, Valentin and Ruslan in order to be more DRY 
you
could use a regex based location (which has its own quirks):

location ~* ^/(?:a|b|c)/.*\.(?:css|gif|js|jpe?g|png)$ {
    expires 1y;
}

This valid only if "~* /b" was intended for "~* ^/b".

As to me, I prefer to isolate regex locations (if I have to use them at 
all)
inside usual locations:

location /c {
   location ~* \.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
       expires 1y;
   }
}

Of course this requires more time to type, but allows me to spend much
less time when I need to modify configuration in future.

Thanks.

My example just in a simplified form and there are more config inside 
each
a, b, c...So I must need separate blocks for them..

My issue is in nginx, url can only be matched to only ONE location, 
unlike
in Apache we have something like * ExpiresByType*, seems duplicate
 multiple locations is a must in nginx.

e.g.


location ~* /a {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }

    # more unique config for /a, cannot be combined
}

location ~* /b {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }

    # more unique config for /b, cannot be combined
}

location ~* /c {
    location ~* ^/.*\.(?:css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png)$ {
        expires 1y;
    }

    # more unique config for /c, cannot be combined
}


Any better way?
