NGINX dynamic path returning 404











up vote

i have nginx running locally and am trying to create a simple dynamic path location.



The location block is:



 location ~ ^/users/(.+)$/roles {

return 200;

}


After running, I try to hit the endpoint




http://localhost:80/users/1/roles




But I end up with a 404.



If I change the location block to:



 location /users/1/roles {

return 200;

}


I get a 200 and everything works just find. I have been pulling my hair out over this because it seems so simple that I thought a ton of documentation would exist about this. But I can not find a solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • You seem to have a spurious $ in your regular expression. The $ is used to anchor the end of a regular expression.

  • Thanks, but removing that does not fix it.
