Sorry for the previous partial email. Hey, I need to add conditional rule with more than one test. I need something like : if ($remote\_addr != “aa.bb.cc.dd” && $request\_uri !~ ^/XXXXX$) { rewrite … } else{ proxy\_pass … } I don’t find the good nginx syntax to obtain a such behaviour. I try : if ( ) { if () { } } without success What is the proper way to do such condition ? Vincent ---

However, the proper way is to not use "if"s at all. nginx should be configured using locations but not if/rewrites. Instead of backward logic: if ($request\_uri !~ ^/XXXXX$) { part A } you should use clear logic: ``` location / { part A } location /XXXXXX { part B } ``` What do you want to configure ? – Igor S. > **[Igor Sysoev](http://sysoev.ru/en/)** ---

My nginx is configure as a reverse proxy (http and https). I want to allow some ip to access both for example 10.10.10.10. Others are allow to access only https and get a permanent redirect on http to https except for specific url where I allow http/https for exemple directory /documentation. Whar is the best way ? to configure 2 location ? Thanks for your answer. Vincent ---

This match exactly my need. I didn’t notice geo Module until now. “root ..” is surplus here, since you use only proxying. The other way to say š š š š šlocation / { š š š š š š šif ($https\_only) { š š š š š š š š šrewrite ^ https://site.com$request\_uri? špermanent; š š š š š š š} š š š š š š šproxy\_pass … š š š š š} is š š š š šlocation / { š š š š allow 10.10.10.10; š š š š allow 10.10.10.20; deny all; š š š š š š šerror\_page 403š https://site.com$request\_uri; š š š š š š šproxy\_pass … š š š š š} Although in this case redirect will be with 302 status code. – Igor S. > **[Igor Sysoev](http://sysoev.ru/en/)** ---
