Regular expressions can contain captures that are made available for later reuse in the <var>$1</var>..<var>$9</var> variables. Negative operators “<literal>!~</literal>” and “<literal>!~*</literal>” are also available. If a regular expression includes the “<literal>}</literal>” or “<literal>;</literal>” characters, the whole expressions should be enclosed in single or double quotes. </listitem> <listitem> checking of a file existence with the “<literal>-f</literal>” and “<literal>!-f</literal>” operators; </listitem> <listitem> checking of a directory existence with the “<literal>-d</literal>” and “<literal>!-d</literal>” operators; </listitem> <listitem> checking of a file, directory, or symbolic link existence with the “<literal>-e</literal>” and “<literal>!-e</literal>” operators; </listitem> <listitem> checking for an executable file with the “<literal>-x</literal>” and “<literal>!-x</literal>” operators. </listitem> </list> </para> <para> Examples: <example> if ($http_user_agent ~ MSIE) { rewrite ^(.*)$ /msie/$1 break; } if ($http_cookie ~* "id=([^;]+)(?:;|$)") { set $id $1; } if ($request_method = POST) { return 405; } if ($slow) { limit_rate 10k; } if ($invalid_referer) { return 403; } </example> <note> A value of the <var>$invalid_referer</var> embedded variable is set by the <link doc="ngx_http_referer_module.xml" id="valid_referers"/> directive. </note> </para> </directive> <directive name="return"> <syntax><value>code</value> [<value>text</value>]</syntax> <syntax><value>code</value> <value>URL</value></syntax> <syntax><value>URL</value></syntax> <default/> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <context>if</context> <para> Stops processing and returns the specified <value>code</value> to a client.

A response body text and redirect URL can contain variables. As a special case, a redirect URL can be specified as a URI local to this server, in which case the full redirect URL is formed according to the request scheme (<var>$scheme</var>) and the <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="server_name_in_redirect"/> and <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="port_in_redirect"/> directives. </para> <para> In addition, a <value>URL</value> for temporary redirect with the code 302 can be specified as the sole parameter. Such a parameter should start with the “<literal>http://</literal>”, “<literal>https://</literal>”, or “<literal>$scheme</literal>” string. A <value>URL</value> can contain variables. </para> <para> <note> Only the following codes could be returned before version 0.7.51: 204, 400, 402 — 406, 408, 410, 411, 413, 416, and 500 — 504. </note> <note> The code 307 was not treated as a redirect until versions 1.1.16 and 1.0.13. </note> <note> The code 308 was not treated as a redirect until version 1.13.0. </note> </para> <para> See also the <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="error_page"/> directive. </para> </directive> <directive name="rewrite"> <syntax> <value>regex</value> <value>replacement</value> [<value>flag</value>]</syntax> <default/> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <context>if</context> <para> If the specified regular expression matches a request URI, URI is changed as specified in the <value>replacement</value> string. The <literal>rewrite</literal> directives are executed sequentially in order of their appearance in the configuration file. It is possible to terminate further processing of the directives using flags. If a replacement string starts with “<literal>http://</literal>”, “<literal>https://</literal>”, or “<literal>$scheme</literal>”, the processing stops and the redirect is returned to a client. </para> <para> An optional <value>flag</value> parameter can be one of: <list type="tag"> <tag-name><literal>last</literal></tag-name> <tag-desc> stops processing the current set of <literal>ngx_http_rewrite_module</literal> directives and starts a search for a new location matching the changed URI; </tag-desc> <tag-name><literal>break</literal></tag-name> <tag-desc> stops processing the current set of <literal>ngx_http_rewrite_module</literal> directives as with the <link id="break"/> directive; </tag-desc> <tag-name><literal>redirect</literal></tag-name> <tag-desc> returns a temporary redirect with the 302 code; used if a replacement string does not start with “<literal>http://</literal>”, “<literal>https://</literal>”, or “<literal>$scheme</literal>”; </tag-desc> <tag-name><literal>permanent</literal></tag-name> <tag-desc> returns a permanent redirect with the 301 code. </tag-desc> </list> The full redirect URL is formed according to the request scheme (<var>$scheme</var>) and the <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="server_name_in_redirect"/> and <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="port_in_redirect"/> directives. </para> <para> Example: <example> server { ... rewrite ^(/download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.mp3 last; rewrite ^(/download/.*)/audio/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.ra last; return 403; ... } </example> </para> <para> But if these directives are put inside the “<literal>/download/</literal>” location, the <literal>last</literal> flag should be replaced by <literal>break</literal>, or otherwise nginx will make 10 cycles and return the 500 error: <example> location /download/ { rewrite ^(/download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.mp3 break; rewrite ^(/download/.*)/audio/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.ra break; return 403; } </example> </para> <para> If a <value>replacement</value> string includes the new request arguments, the previous request arguments are appended after them. If this is undesired, putting a question mark at the end of a replacement string avoids having them appended, for example: <example> rewrite ^/users/(.*)$ /show?user=$1? last; </example> </para> <para> If a regular expression includes the “<literal>}</literal>” or “<literal>;</literal>” characters, the whole expressions should be enclosed in single or double quotes. </para> </directive> <directive name="rewrite_log"> <syntax><literal>on</literal> | <literal>off</literal></syntax> <default>off</default> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <context>if</context> <para> Enables or disables logging of <literal>ngx_http_rewrite_module</literal> module directives processing results into the <link doc="../ngx_core_module.xml" id="error_log"/> at the <literal>notice</literal> level. </para> </directive> <directive name="set"> <syntax><value>$variable</value> <value>value</value></syntax> <default/> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <context>if</context> <para> Sets a <value>value</value> for the specified <value>variable</value>.

An interpreter is a simple virtual stack machine. </para> <para> For example, the directives <example> location /download/ { if ($forbidden) { return 403; } if ($slow) { limit_rate 10k; } rewrite ^/(download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ /$1/mp3/$2.mp3 break; } </example> will be translated into these instructions: <example> variable $forbidden check against zero return 403 end of code variable $slow check against zero match of regular expression copy "/" copy $1 copy "/mp3/" copy $2 copy ".mp3" end of regular expression end of code </example> </para> <para> Note that there are no instructions for the <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="limit_rate"/> directive above as it is unrelated to the <literal>ngx_http_rewrite_module</literal> module. A separate configuration is created for the <link id="if"/> block. If the condition holds true, a request is assigned this configuration where <literal>limit_rate</literal> equals to 10k. </para> <para> The directive <example> rewrite ^/(download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ /$1/mp3/$2.mp3 break; </example> can be made smaller by one instruction if the first slash in the regular expression is put inside the parentheses: <example> rewrite ^(<emphasis>/</emphasis>download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.mp3 break; </example> The corresponding instructions will then look like this: <example> match of regular expression copy $1 copy "/mp3/" copy $2 copy ".mp3" end of regular expression end of code </example> </para> </section> </module>
