Hi,

i need to translate this htaccess to nginx:

RewriteCond %{QUERY\_STRING} !^/?url  
RewriteCond %{QUERY\_STRING} !^/?auto  
RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ /?url=$1 [L]

is this the right solution?

if ($args !~ “^/?url”){  
set $rule\_0 1$rule\_0;  
}  
if ($args !~ “^/?auto”){  
set $rule\_0 2$rule\_0;  
}  
if ($rule\_0 = “21”){  
rewrite ^/(.\*)$ /?url=$1 last;  
}

cheers,

juergen

Are you sure, that your requests are somethig like “/some/page?/?auto=1”  
?  
Could you explain what you want to get ?

if ($args !~ ^(url|auto)) {  
rewrite ^(.\*)$ http://$server\_name/?url=$uri$is\_args$args break;
