Description

I am trying to ignore some URL parameters to compute a cache key with this kind of code:

set $cache_args $args;

if ($cache_args ~ (.*)(?:&|^)utm_source=[^&]*(.*)) {
  set $cache_args $1$2;
}

if ($cache_args ~ (.*)(?:&|^)utm_content=[^&]*(.*)) {
  set $cache_args $1$2;
}
...

It works until Nginx receive a request with URL encoded chars in its path.
For example, /%EE?utm_content=1&utm_source=2&arg1=3:

  • The first regex (.*)(?:&|^)utm_source=[^&]*(.*) will match but $2 will be %26arg1=3 whereas it is &arg1=3 when there is no chars URL encoded in the path. $cache_args is then set to utm_content=1%26arg1=3
  • Following regex (.*)(?:&|^)utm_content=[^&]*(.*) will then match utm_content=[^&]* as the whole value utm_content=1%26arg1=3 instead of just utm_content=1. Thus the new value set to $cache_args will be empty instead of &arg1=3.
