You're almost there ;-)

"rewrite" doesn't examine query strings, so if the contents of your
query string are required to drive your logic, you'll need to use
other tools instead of (or well as) rewrite.

You probably don't want the "=" here. I don't actually know what a
regex ("(.*)") location used alongside "=" will do. I'm slightly
surprised nginx didn't complain on reload/restart ...

Have a read of this section: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location

You probably want to use a case-sensitive regex location.

I'd use a map{} variable inside the if(), personally. The map can use
the same check as that which you have above, but in a way which
abstracts the actual check away from the logic that it drives. This is
just a stylistic change however :-)

HTH,
