Wierd problem with Nginx 1.2.3 rewrites.

See [http://pastie.org/4433865](http://pastie.org/4433865) and note Line 30. The arg is part of the  
main url. Results in a 404 not found as the final url becomes  
“/test/index.php?x2\_SID=41efad7adffaa9d25967dc913919cbc0?x2\_SID=41efad7adffaa9d25967dc913919cbc0”

Any cluees

It’s not clear what you are trying to do, but if you just want to  
preserve arguments as is - there is no need to write anything  
extra, just

rewrite ^/test/index.html$ /test/index.php last;

Original request arguments (if any) will be preserved as is.

Ha! Got it. I was trying to preserve arguments indeed.

I take it this is related to needing to add a “?” to the end of such  
to prevent the args being appended again. Right?
