Hello,

I’m looking for a way to redirect users from some countries and with a  
querystring value to a specific page.

I tried this without success:

location /register.php {  
if (($geoip\_country\_code = (BR|PT)) and ($arg\_action = “register”)) {  
rewrite ^(.\*) /page/info/registo.html permanent;  
}  
}

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

In 0.9.6 you can use

map “$geoip\_country\_code.$arg\_action” $registo {  
default 0;  
BR.register 1;  
PT.register 1;  
}

location = /register.php {  
if ($registo) {  
return 301 /page/info/registo.html;  
}  
}
