Ok, that worked out really well. For anyone following I had to go here https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,279172,279176#msg-279176 because our exchange server destroyed the sample URLs.
But I’m not sure how the location order is mitigated. Is this because the first location match is a regex instead of just a string match? ___________________________________________ Michael Friscia Office of Communications Yale School of Medicine (203) 737-7932 - office (203) 931-5381 - mobile http://web.yale.edu <http://web.yale.edu/> On 3/23/18, 11:04 AM, "nginx on behalf of Igor Sysoev" <nginx-boun...@nginx.org on behalf of i...@sysoev.ru> wrote: > On 23 Mar 2018, at 16:14, Friscia, Michael <michael.fris...@yale.edu> wrote: > > I’m wondering how to achieve this in the config > > I have a url like this > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_people_mike&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=d-eqNL5YgMJ1AKeHKJOtXnHHNtzi9Z1jTzjuytLCfu8&e= > > and I want to redirect to > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.othersite.com_users_mike&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=s3EYsk58VjmTeyiIyIvDdkIV6OWmBL9HsdDGIWnT7oA&e= > > the problem at hand is switching “/people/” to “/users/” but keep everything else so if I was to have > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_people_mike_education-3Fpage-3D1&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=Jg2LCkkCd0MtLQdRgKJn_Qw3KVPphD5g1M6YGmxLYMI&e= > I would still get redirected to > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.othersite.com_users_mike_education-3Fpage-3D1&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=6b4ktk2Q5Fa3Ro1Hg2qGdD9dhsIk5Ap-3cS_GbOSBc0&e= > > I currently have redirects where I just append $request_uri to the new domain name but in this case I need to alter the $request_uri before I use it. So the question is how should I approach making this sort of change? Something like this: location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) { return 301 https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_users_-24REST-24is-5Fargs-24args&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=dwsx2pgviho1mDEe9-eSJOsU6L5YomDKne9pGahGEII&e=; } However, if you do not want to care about location order in future, this is better: location /people/ { location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) { return 301 https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_users_-24REST-24is-5Fargs-24args&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=dwsx2pgviho1mDEe9-eSJOsU6L5YomDKne9pGahGEII&e=; } } -- Igor Sysoev https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nginx.com&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=G8eSWJNBD_3_Eg6m9BGtziqdxy0G0D38NiN75tlpYHU&e= _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__mailman.nginx.org_mailman_listinfo_nginx&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=8dvq4qhKfz_X0MxXZ6Qaeik8x47SP3epk7aqPxYGoh4&e= _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
