nginx: rewrite regex to match URL without digit at the end
nginx: rewrite regex to match URL without digit at the end
I'm trying to set up a rewrite rule to accomplish the following:
/base/first -> /base/search/first
/base/first
/base/search/first
/base/first/second -> /base/search/first/second
/base/first/second
/base/search/first/second
And of course /base/search/first shouldn't redirect to /base/search/search/first
/base/search/first
/base/search/search/first
first and second are placeholders for strings with alphabetical characters and dashes (no digits).
first
second
However, I don't want to rewrite URLs like the following:
/base/first/second/third/123
123 is a placeholder for a three-character digits-only string
123
I've tried the following location block and I can get the first two requirements, but it's also capturing URLs that end in 123
123
location ~* ^/base/(?!search)[^d]+$
rewrite ^/base/(?!search)(.+) https://$server_name/base/search/$1 permanent;
[^d]+
I'm trying to use the
[^d]+$ so that it doesn't match URIs that end in numeric digits. And... wow you're right. My browser was using the cached redirect from earlier attempts. This works!! Thank you. 🙏– aman

[^d]+$
Minor improvement:
rewrite ^/base/(?!search/)(.+) otherwise your regex won't work for /base/searching/abc– anubhava

rewrite ^/base/(?!search/)(.+)
/base/searching/abc
Thank you, that's a good point.

What is purpose of
[^d]+? Did you try testing from a new browser?– anubhava
