Mapping URL to filesystem

  • 772

What would be the best way to map this URL to this filesystem path?

From

http://site.com/200x300/ed3269d0-f9ef-4ffc-abea-5982969876c0/my file.jpg

To

/var/www/e/d/3/ed3269d0-f9ef-4ffc-abea-5982969876c0/200x300.jpg

Where

  • "200x300" is the size of the image
  • "ed3269d0-f9ef-4ffc-abea-5982969876c0" is the guid of the image
  • "my file" is the name of the file (used for SEO, may contain spaces)
  • "e", "d" and "3" are the first 3 letters of the guid
  • ".jpg" is the extension of the file

    Try something like following:

    location / {
   location ~* ^/(\d+x\d+)/((\w)(\w)(\w)[-\w]+)/[^/]+\.jpg$ {
      alias /var/www/$3/$4/$5/$2/$1.jpg;
   }
}
location /some_other_location/ { ... }

  2. Here's what I've come up (as I need to extract the extension too):

    server {
   root /var/www;

   location ~* ^/(\d+x\d+)/((\w)(\w)(\w)[-\w]+)/[^\.]+\.(\w+)$ {
      try_files /$3/$4/$5/$2/$1.$6 /index.html;
   }
}
