nginx redirect POST requests

Question

I have a web server which accepts https://www.example.com/API/ooo/xxx, https://www.example.com/API/aaa/bbb, and https://www.example.com/API/xxx/y

Answer 1

Use a return statement. You can use a regular expression location block to capture the part of the URI to return.

For example:

location ~ ^/API(/.*)$ {
    return 307 $1$is_args$args;
}

Note that with the regular expression location directive, its order within the configuration is significant, so you may need to move it. See this document for details.
