<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have a regex that works in an online tool but when I put this into my configuration file it is not working.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The problem is that I want all URLs that start with /info to be redirected with the exception of one unfortunately named PDF file. This regex tests perfectly in an online tool</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">^/info(\/)?(?!\.pdf)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">which shows that anything /information /info and /info/ all redirect and this will not /informationforFamiliesAlliesPacket_298781_284_5_v1.pdf</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But when I put this into action, the PDF requests are still being redirected like any other /info call made.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I use a config file with a number of redirects so the full location block is simply:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">location ~* ^/info(\/)?(?!\.pdf) { return 301 https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/; }</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My thought process was to still redirect unless “.pdf” existed in the URL just in case we upload more “info….pdf” documents into the system, I didn’t want to make this exception too specific.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Any thoughts on this would be great, my regex skills are good enough most of the time but failing me right now.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
