Setting up nginx redirect map: how to handle spaces

  • 772

How can you handle spaces in the original url in a redirect map? The map I have set up seems to be working properly for other redirects.

However, for urls with spaces, I tried: ‘/banner ads.htm’ /links/link-humor-times/;

…but that’s not working. How do you handle spaces?

url rewrite redirect mapping

  1. Okay, found the solution. Just substitute %20 for the spaces, and don't use quote marks.

    This works: /banner%20ads.htm /links/link-humor-times/;

    I didn't try it before because I'd read in a forum that it wouldn't work with nginx, but it does.
