Location into location doen't work as expected

Server NGINX

Hi all,

I’ve the following location configuration that doesn’t work as expected
(i symplified my configuration with return value instead of rewrite):

location ^~ /image/ {
location ^~ /image/(halfcol|medium|thumb)/ {
return 402;
}
location ^~ /image/ {
return 403;
}
}

if i tried to get a /image/halfcol/something i expected to received a
402 return code.

$ HEAD http://localhost/image/halfcol/pippo.jpg | head -n1
403 Forbidden

I got a 403 instead :frowning:

Thanks in advance
Daniele

The “^~” is not regex, conversely it disables to run regex, therefore:

location /image/ {
return 403;
}

location ~ ^/image/(halfcol|medium|thumb)/ {
return 402;
}
