Hi

I have a RewriteRule in Apache :

RewriteCond %{QUERY\_STRING} came\_from=http(.\*)

RewriteRule ^/(.\*)login\_form$  
https://%{SERVER\_NAME}/$1login\_form?came\_from=https%1 [NE,L]

Can somebody let me know the equivalent of the above apache rewrite  
rule in nginx

Have you tried using something that would capture the header  
information? E.g., $http\_referer and such? The rules themselves aren’t  
extremely tough, so you’ve probably solved this by now (:
