Hi,

I have worked with Nginx only short time and I'm led to in deep trouble with one configuration task.

Basically I'd like to redirect all other requests than root document request to https but I can't find a way to do it.

Currently I have this in nginx.conf

rewrite ^(.*) https://www.certainsite.com$1 permanent;

it redirects every plain http request to https by responding http 301

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

But how to exclude only the root from this rule.


thanks for any response !

#rewrite ^(/.+)$ https://www.somesite.com$1 permanent;
