Hi nginx-Fans,

I have a little problem with my rewrite-lines with nginx.
I tried about 1 hour to fix it, but it still won't work.

I currently have this lines:
[quote]
rewrite ^/encode?(.*)(&[1-9]+)$ /encode.php?q=$1&s=$2 last;
rewrite ^/decode?(.*)$ /decode.php?q=$1 last;
[/quote]

Encode example:
[quote]http://LINK/encode?HERE_GOES_THE_DATA_MAYBE_A_LINK&5[/quote]

Decode example:
[quote]http://LINK/decode?LINK[/quote]

I think nginx won't accept the questionmark in the rewrite rule.
When I open the Link it says "404 Not found". If I try
[quote]http://LINK/encodeDATA[/quote]
it works...

Somebody has a solution?

Thank you!

Hi,

[quote]
rewrite ^/encode?(.*)(&[1-9]+)$ /encode.php?q=$1&s=$2 last;
rewrite ^/decode?(.*)$ /decode.php?q=$1 last;
[/quote]

It's a bad idea, because: 1) you are forced to use "rewrite"s and "if"s; and 2) your links that you specify as an argument to encode/decode may contain query parameters, and they would mix with q= & s= parameters during the rewrite. but ok:

if ($request_uri ~ ^/encode\?(?<link>[^&]+)&(?<enc_args>\d+)$) {
rewrite ^ /encode.php?q=$link&s=$enc_args? last;
}

if ($request_uri ~ ^/decode\?(?<link>.+)$) {
rewrite ^ /decode.php?q=$link? last;
}

Thank you very much.
I'll try it when I am at home.

What do you exactly mean with 2)?

I tested it now and it works perfectly.
Thank you very much!

When the link argument of the URL itself contains query string arguments like:

http://yourserver/encode?http://test.com/?arg1=val1&arg2=val2&5

You might have a hard time parsing/getting the link itself (http://test.com/?arg1=val1&arg2=val2, that is).

Ah, okay.

And how I can fix that?
