Dear David:
I am very grateful for your help! Below is the final configuration working
optimally. I even included the proxy configuration parameters for the
websocket connection to work.I noticed that the location =/ does not
support OR so I had create two additional locations to catch paths without
the end forward slash. Is there a limit in the number of location that a
configuration file should have?
I do have some other additional configuration I want to do, but I will post
another message with it.
Thank YOU again for being in this forum and helping everyone!
Regards,
Alex
# SERVER DEFINITIONS
##BETA EXAMPLE HTTP SERVER CONFIGURATION START
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
## URL REWRITE FUNCTION THAT LOWERCASES ALL URIS
## START -- THIS IS INSIDE THE HTTP, BUT IT IS HERE FOR ILLUSTRATION
PURPOSES
perl_set $my_uri_to_lowercase 'sub {
my $r = shift;
my $uri = $r->uri;
$uri = lc($uri);
return $uri;
}';
## URL REWRITE FUNCTION THAT LOWERCASES ALL URIS
## END
## LOCATION #1
## THIS LOCATION WILL PREVENT LOWERCASING IN ANY URI THAT BEGINS WITH
/API/WHATEVER , /CONTENTASSET/WHATEVER, ETC.
## ~ MEANS IT IS A REGEX
## ~* MAKES IT CASEINSENSITIVE SO EITHER /api/ or /API/ will not be
lowercased
## ^ MAKES IT MATCH WITH THE BEGINING OF THE "/" AND THE PATH WE DO NOT WANT
TO LOWERCASE
## I ADDED THE proxy_pass as observation of David Francis on Nginx Forum
## IF URI MATCHES THIS LOCATION THEN IT WILL STOP SEARCHING FOR OTHER
LOCATION MATCHES
location ~
^/(api|contentAsset|categoriesServlet|DotAjaxDirector|html|dwr|dA|JsonTags)/
