nginx: regex not matching URI

Question

i have this URI /orls/myservice/f?p=4550 and the following location

location ~ "^/(.+)/myservice/f?p=(.+)$" { ..... } 

nginx is returning a 404 not found. the problem might come from the ? so i tried \? buit i'm still getting the same error. Can anyone help ?

Answer 1

The location match does not consider the query string:

Note that locations of all types test only a URI part of request line without arguments. This is done because arguments in the query string may be given in several ways [...]

Answer 2

Try also to escape the / character

Answer 3

You need to escape slashes and question mark, like this:

location ~ "^\/(.+)\/myservice\/f\?p=(.+)$" { ..... } 

This will match first folder and p arg.

1 = orls 2 = 4550
