Description
We need to redirect http://www.cancione.net/ame-tateeot;SUI3bFpISzZ1Um8=
trying this:
location ~* \Q/ame-tateeot\;SUI3bFpISzZ1Um8=\E* {
return 302 http://.../;
} # location
redirects only http://www.cancione.net/ame-tateeot\;SUI3bFpISzZ1Um8= - that's right, because symbols between \Q and \E are escaped and used as-is.
Trying this:
location ~* \Q/ame-tateeot;SUI3bFpISzZ1Um8=\E* {
return 302 http://.../;
} # location
cause error:
nginx: [emerg] directive "location" has no opening "{" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/blocked:11632
That's not right, because ';' beetween \Q and \E is not escaped and used as part of location directive. We think it's a error.
For override this bug we use next construction:
location ~* \Q/ame-tateeot\E\;\QSUI3bFpISzZ1Um8=\E* {
return 302 http://.../;
} # location
Regular expressions are not part of nginx configuration syntax, and you have to escape nginx special characters in regular expressions regardless of what they are expected to mean in a regular expression itself and their position within the regular expression. Simplest way to do this is to use single or or double quotes around the regular expression if it contains ';' or '}', as suggested by the if directive documentation:
Additionally, in this particular case regular expression looks unneeded. An exact match location should be better choice, e.g.:
location = "/ame-tateeot\;SUI3bFpISzZ1Um8=" { ... }
