For our static subdomain (which should only serve static content) I'd like to add a whitelist of content - so if the filename doesn't match jpg/png/gif/css/js etc it will return a 444

What's the correct syntax to do this:


location !~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
#dont serve any other files
return 444;
}

The above doesnt work as !~* isn't allowed. What the best way to say "not one of the following extensions". All the examples in the documenation are the opposite?

Cheers
