Rewrite foo.com. to foo.com

Server NGINX

Hi there-

I’m trying to sort out a problem a client is having with a googlemap
api key. I need to rewrite any requests that end in a . to the same
request with no .

example:

incoming request to foo.bar.com. needs to be rewritten to
foo.bar.com with no trailing dot , but retaining any uri so

foo.bar.com./qux → foo.bar.com/qux

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I tried something like this:

if ( $host ~* (.?.?foo.com).)$ {
set $domainwithoutdot $1;
rewrite ^(.)$ http://$domainwithoutdot$1 permanent;
}

Help?

Thanks

I think the docs have the wrong variable name here. I’ve been using
$http_host instead of $host in my configs without issue.

Ezra,

Why is the ‘$’ outside the if() parenthesis? Also try $http_host.

What I meant to say (wasn’t supposed to be a question) is try moving
the $ just after the .

As it was already said, you should use $http_host, because $host
is the cooked header with stripped possible dot.

Thanks everyone. here is the final working version for posterity:

if ( $http_host ~* (.?.?foo.com).) {
set $domainwithoutdot $1;
rewrite ^(.)$ http://$domainwithoutdot$1 permanent;
}

Cheers-
