Captures in regex locations

Server NGINX
1

The patch against 0.7.39 to support

  1. captures in regex location

  2. an “alias” inside these locations

    location ~* ^/files/(.+.(?:gif|jpe?g|png))$ {

    alias   /path/to/$1;

    }

  3. captures became global and may be used as variables in some
    directives:

    location ~* ^/files/(.+.(?:gif|jpe?g|png))$ {

    error_page  404  /index.php?img=$1;

    }

Igor,

This is awesome, and I look forward to playing with it. I assume this
is
presented as a patch for testing but is planned to be released at some
point
later, correct? Regardless, keep up the great work!

This is great news, this feature will make some of my Nginx config
files a lot simpler!

Thanks Igor!

Probably to simplfy configuration even more I will make the “match”
directive

match  $http_destination  ^https?(:.+)$;

proxy_set_header   Destination     http$1;

as replacement to

set  $destination  $http_destination;

if ($http_destination ~* ^https(.+)$) {
    set  $destination  $http$1;
}

proxy_set_header   Destination     $destination;
