Nginx variables for the subpath inside the current location or alias

  • 772

Is there an Nginx variable for the subpath inside the current location, or inside the current alias?

For example, given location /static {...} and GET /static/booze.png, is there a variable containing /booze.png, which would be the subpath inside the current location?

Or otherwise, given location /static { alias /srv/static-files; ...} and the same GET, is there a variable containing /booze.png, the subpath inside the current alias?

I know I can use regex locations to capture it, but I'd like to avoid it if I can use a builtin variable.

  1. No, but you may try a trick like this:

    location ~* /static/(.*)$ {
  set $subpath = $1;
}

    The only thing you have to keep in mind - regexp locations have priority over regular ones.
