Migrate from apache mod_rewrite

Hi guys,

I`m trying to migrate one of our external programmed tools to nginx from
traditional apache.

But unfortunately I screw things up on migrating apache mod_rewrite to
nginx mod_rewrite!

Would be great, if one of you could help me on this.
The mod_rewrite sections in apache looks like this:

 RewriteEngine On

 # if thumb exists, output directly
 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(thumb|normal)$
 RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/$1/%{QUERY_STRING}.jpg -f
 RewriteRule (.*)\.jpg$ /cache/$1/%{QUERY_STRING}.jpg [L]

 # otherwise redirect all jpg-image-requests to processing
 # script if they are not in cache dir
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cache
 RewriteRule \.jpg$ /image_processing.php [QSA,L]

How to do this with nginx?

Thank you very very much!

If you use 0.6.35, then get
http://sysoev.ru/nginx/patch.try_files.0.6.35
and try the following:

server {

 ...

 set $image "";

 if ($uri ~ (.*)\.jpg$) {
     set  $image  $1;
 }

 location ~ (.+)\.jpg$ {
     try_files  /cache/$image/$args.jpg  @image;
 }

 location @images {
     proxy_pass  http://backend/image_processing.php;
 }

 ...

I do want to add captures in regex location’s:

 location ~ (.+)\.jpg$ {
     try_files  /cache/$1/$args.jpg  @image;
 }
