Description
when creating a rewrite like this:
rewrite ^/site/([^/]*)/[^-]*-(.*)$ /site/${site}/$1/$2 last;
where the $site is set by a map, i get /site/mysite as result from a request to
http://localhost/site/static/small/grid-633.jpg
If i remove the ${site}, i get /site/small/633.jpg
If i replaced the numbered references by named references:
rewrite ^/site/(?<first>[^/]*)/[^-]*-(?<second>.*)$ /site/${site}/${first}/${second} last;
everything works fine.
As the map documentation reports, map is evaluated the moment the variable is used and it is resetting the numbered references.
So either keep any numbered references when calling map, or change the documentation about this pitfall and point the user to named references instead.
right now only expert users, that understand how nginx work internally may know about this and normal users generate broken configs and run away from map because they can not understand it... most will use many "if" as workaround, generating other problems later on
of course, this numbered references being reset problem might show up in other places too, so maybe always recommend named references is a good idea
