Need help understanding Nginx Rewriting

Server NGINX
1

Hi guys,
Would like to ask what IS the difference between the “last” and “break”
flags for rewriting? It seems to me from the examples in
Module ngx_http_rewrite_module that we can just use
“break”
for just about every situation.

Sorry if I had to bother everyone with such a simple question, but this
email comes after reading through that page and other examples for like
hours already :slight_smile:

Ray.

The “last” stops execution and nginx looks a new location for rewritten
URI.
The “break” stops execution and nginx continues processing in the same
location.
