Hi,

I have to test nginx for my company which is currently using apache  
webservers with .htaccess files. I nearly managed to get all the config  
from apache to nginx, but I am having problems with the .htaccess files.  
I really have no idea how I should translate this configuration:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME}###%{REQUEST\_URI}  
(._)/skinimage###._/skinimage/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ [NC]  
RewriteCond %1/style/%2/images/%3 -f  
RewriteRule skinimage/([^/]+)/(.+)$ %{ENV:P4T\_DOC}/style/$1/images/$2  
[L,NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME}###%{REQUEST\_URI}  
(._)/skinimage###._/skinimage/[^/]+/([^/]+)$ [OR,NC]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} (.\*)/style/[^/]+/images/(.+)$ [NC]  
RewriteCond %1/style/default/images/%2 -f  
RewriteRule (skin)?images?/([^/]+/)?(.+)$  
%{ENV:P4T\_DOC}/style/default/images/$3 [L,NC,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} !-f  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME}###%{REQUEST\_URI}  
(._)/skinimage###._/skinimage/[^/]+/([^/]+)$ [OR,NC]  
RewriteCond %{REQUEST\_FILENAME} (.\*)/style/[^/]+/images/(.+)$ [NC]  
RewriteCond %1/images/%2 -f  
RewriteRule (skin)?images?/([^/]+/)?(.+)$ %{ENV:P4T\_DOC}/images/$3  
[L,NC,QSA]

## Deny access to .svn directory via Web

RewriteRule ._.svn/._ - [F]

I am not even sure if I understand this config correct:  
If REQUEST\_FILENAME does not exist, check if it matches some regex, and  
then rewrite it with some parts of the none-existent path.

Could you please help me to apply this config to nginx?
