Hi there,
I have a set of rewrites as
rewrite ^/(.)/(.)/(.).(.) /script.php?a=$1&b=$2&c=$3&ext=$4 last;
rewrite ^/(.)/(.).(.) /script.php?a=$1&b=$2&ext=$3 last;
rewrite ^/(.).(.) /script.php?a=$1&ext=$2 last;
rewrite ^/(.)/(.)/(.)/(.) /script.php?a=$1&b=$2&c=$3&d=$4 last;
rewrite ^/(.)/(.)/(.) /script.php?a=$1&b=$2&c=$3 last;
rewrite ^/(.)/(.) /script.php?a=$1&b=$2 last;
How can I use one single rewrite rule to match all possible choices?
If you really want to do that, I’d suggest using a programming language
to do complicated programming, and using nginx.conf for simpler things.
location ~ ^/.*[/.] {
rewrite ^ /script.php?E=READ_THE_REQUEST last;
}
and then change script.php to process $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] when it gets
the special value E=READ_THE_REQUEST, so that it populates a, b, c, d,
and ext as is appropriate.
In fact, I suspect that I’d not use rewrite at all: either fastcgi_pass
directly in this location; or proxy_pass sending the original $uri as
an argument.
(There are cases where this “location” is not a drop-in replacement for
the initial "rewrite"s. If your system is one of those, you’ll need a
different plan.)
But if your rewrite system works and is clear enough for you, you
probably
don’t need to change it.
Good luck with it,
