There are two types of examples on wiki about how to catch/serve static
files.
The example A is not working correctly for names ending with the
extension.
I used the example A and added .tar files as static (location ~
^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|tar)$). I experienced troubles with
“http://server.com/katar”. It was processed like static file

do you agree to change examples A ?
is there a way to use mime type to catch static content ?
sincerely,
Martin
there is no bug in
location ~* ^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$
but
location ~* .(gif|jpg|jpeg)$
is simpler and better
I agree.
It starts to be bug, if you copy it from the example as I did and use it
in case that you have link like http://www.server.com/katar served from
one location and also want catch “*.tar” from other location. Then it is
bug in the configuration. I spent some time to search for the reason why
it is not working.
So my suggestion is to correct the examples so no others will get into
the same trouble.

The “.(jpg|jpeg|gif|tar)$” should not match “/katar”.

As I understand the only NginxDjangoFastCGI is incorrect:
B)

Where do you see “jpeg” ?
is there a way to use mime type to catch static content ?
No.
I am sorry that my mail was so confusing.
I did not checked the pages correctly. The problem is only on
