Nested locations blocks in NGINX configuration
Blog post from Upsun
The blog post by Michael Sharp delves into the complexities of nesting location blocks within NGINX configurations, highlighting the different types of location blocks—exact-match, plain, strong prefix, and regex—and how they interact within the configuration file. It emphasizes that NGINX processes these blocks by scanning from top to bottom to find the most suitable match for a request, with exact-match locations taking precedence and terminating the search immediately if found. Prefix-type locations, which cannot be nested within regex-type locations, are examined first, and if no exact match is found, NGINX then tests regex-type locations. The author points out exceptions where regex locations are considered, particularly if they are nested within a matching prefix-type block, and notes that strong-prefix locations (^~) will not check regex locations unless they are nested. The post encourages readers to share their insights and experiences with NGINX configurations, acknowledging the complexity and depth involved in mastering its nuances.
