Description

server {

listen 80;
server_name ~api(\-dev|\-stage|\-www){0,1}\.example\.com$;

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log

location / {

return 200;

}

}

Inside of a regular expression that is defined in the server name, the regex is parsed incorrectly

the culprit is here matching {x,y} which while non-standard is valid regex; in my case a developer had written {0,1} which should be fine, and when replaced with '?' it works as expected.

Regular expressions are not part of nginx configuration syntax, and characters in regular expressions which have special meaning in nginx configuration needs to be escaped, much like in any other directive parameters. Simplest way to do this is to use single or double quotes around the regular expression, as suggested by the rewrite directive documentation:

If a regular expression includes the “}” or “;” characters, the whole expressions should be enclosed in single or double quotes.

In your particular case, the following will work as expected:

server_name "~^api(\-dev|\-stage|\-www){0,1}\.example\.com$";

Hope this helps.
