I want to improve my urls for seo

I’m with rails attachment\_fu

I want change this url

/attachments/000/234/my\_great\_image.jpg

like that :

/my\_keywords\_seo/images/my\_great\_image.jpg

I tried it

location ~\* ^/attachments { rewrite  
^/attachments/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.\*)$ /my\_keywords\_seo/images/$3 last; }

the url is rewritten, however, the resource is not found !

However i read in [Module ngx\_http\_rewrite\_module](http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpRewriteModule)

Flags can be any of the following:  
last - completes processing of rewrite directives, after which searches  
for corresponding URI and location

I don’t understand …

Somebody can help me ?

or maybe I did not understand the documentation for “last” my goal is  
the url change, but once the resource has been provided … just a url  
rewrite not redirecting … someone has the answer ?
