Thanks a lot, Alex,

Your comments enlightened my path!

Here is the working configuration:


[code]
location ~ ^/(.*)/([^/]+)/image/([^/]*)$ {
set $part1 $1;
set $part2 $2;
set $filename $3;
rewrite ^.*$ /${part1}_$part2/image/$filename last;
}

location ~ ^/([^/]+)/image/([^/]*)$ {
set $folder $1;
set $filename $2;
rewrite ^.*$ /image/$folder/$filename break;
}
[/code]


The first location directive is recursive, and keeps joining the paths, replacing "/" by "_" on each iteration.

The second location directive is the final one. When all path pieces are already joined, it does the final rewrite.

Cool!


Anyway, a "string replace" function for the rewrite module remains a wish as a [i]feature request[/i]...

Thanks!
