Lowercase URLs

[aris]

Hi,

I would like to know how to convert the URLs to lowercase. When somebody
hits an URL ( irrespective of the case ), it should be converted to
lowercase in the address bar.

With the help of lua-nginx-module (see
https://github.com/chaoslawful/lua-nginx-module)
it could look like this …

location ~ “\p{Lu}” {
rewrite_by_lua ‘return ngx.redirect(string.lower(ngx.var.uri),
ngx.HTTP_MOVED_PERMANENTLY)’;
}

-cs

Can’t we get this functionality without using lua-nginx-module?

AFAIK Nginx does support this out of the box, i.e. there’s nothing like
the internal functions tolower/toupper of RewriteMap in Apache HTTP (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap). If
you prefer Perl over Lua, go with the Perl module.
