Hello,

I need to redirect a podcast URL to the Podtrac.com URL, which includes a $ at the end. Example:

rewrite ^/podcast.php "http://feeds.podtrac.com/xxxxx$" permanent;

Nginx feels that this is a variable and kicks this error:

nginx: [emerg] invalid variable name in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:21

Quoting the URL, escaping the $ with a backslash, etc. do not help. I even tried to set a variable with the contents of "$" and use it, but to no avail.

Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Thanks,

Russell

Podtrac got the answer to me. Posting here in case it helps anyone in the future. Encode the $. %24
