Figured out javascript, now just $_POST issue remaining

I fixed the javascript problem. Now I understand that only one
“location” directive can be hit. So in the following case:

location ~* (jpg|jpeg|gif|png|js|css) {
expires 30d;
access_log off;
}

location /javascript/ {
rewrite ^/javascript/(.*)$ /combine.php?type=javascript&files=$1
last;
}

when requesting /javascript/prototype.js,scriptaculous.js … the
latter piece was not getting hit.

the only thing (I think) that’s left is getting the $_POST array to post
through, as it does not work with simply:

location / {
error_page 404 = /index.php?q=$request_uri;
}

and the patch I found out there, as I think I said before, sounds like
it conflicts with the latest nginx code.

  • location /javascript/ {
  • location ^~ /javascript/ {

The patch was commited:

Changes with nginx 0.7.11 18 Aug

Changes with nginx 0.6.33 20 Nov

*) Feature: now nginx returns the 405 status code for POST method
   requesting a static file only if the file exists.
