Can you show exactly what you means by "doesn't work"? It seems to work
for me.
That is, if I use
===
server {
listen 8080 default_server;
server_name three;
location ^~ /radio/ {
valid_referers server_names
*.mysite.com mysite.com dev.mysite.* can.mysite.*
can.mysite.com/dashboard ~\.mysite\.;
if ($invalid_referer) { return 403; }
return 200 "This request is allowed: $request_uri, $http_referer\n";
}
}
===
then I see (403 is "blocked"; 200 is "allowed"):
# no Referer
$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/radio/one
403
# Referer that matches can.mysite.*
$ curl -i -H Referer:http://can.mysite.cxx http://127.0.0.1:8080/radio/one
200
# Referer that does not match can.mysite.com/dashboard
curl -i -H Referer:http://can.mysite.com/dashboar http://127.0.0.1:8080/radio/one
403
# Referer that matches can.mysite.com/dashboard
curl -i -H Referer:http://can.mysite.com/dashboards http://127.0.0.1:8080/radio/one
200
# Referer that matches a server_name
$ curl -i -H Referer:https://three http://127.0.0.1:8080/radio/one
200

If you can show one specific config that you use; and one specific
request that you make; and the response that you get and how it is not
the response that you want; it will probably be easier to identify where
the problem is.

The headers can be forged, just like I do above in the "curl" commands.
All the best,
