Hello Reinis,

Thanks for pointing that out. Just to make sure I understand the doc correctly for my case.

Given that: location /foo/bar/ (directive with conventional strings) and location ~* (\.jpg|\.png|\.css|\.js|\.html)$ (regular expressions). The /foo/bar/ location is actually checked and matched first, however, since I don't have a '^~' prefix in front of /foo/bar/, the search continues with regex match and matches with location ~* (\.jpg|\.png|\.css|\.js|\.html)$. In the end, it is the regex location directive that is used by nginx.

So to correct the problem, I simply need to add a prefix '^~' in front of /foo/bar/ to stop the search once matched.

Please correct me if I get anything wrong. Thanks.
