<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Thank you for that.
Apologies, I should’ve mentioned that I did review that
documentation on how nginx selects a location. Unfortunately I
didn’t find it particularly clear or helpful.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">I especially thought
this rule in question would match and take precedence over the
latter /browser rule, because of this line on that page:</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;"></p>
<div class="markdown-here-exclude">
<blockquote>
<p>"If the longest matching prefix location has the “^~”
modifier then regular expressions are not checked."<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">i.e. because this
rule in question comes first and it is longer than the latter
/browser rule, a match would occur here and not later (because
processing stops here)?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">And because I
couldn’t find much on how nginx handles regex, I ended up
checking <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59846238">this
question/answer</a> on Stackoverflow. It cleared things up a
little, but still made me wonder why my approach didn’t work.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Nevertheless, your
suggestions to remove the priority prefix <code style="font-family: Consolas, Inconsolata, Courier, monospace;margin: 0px 0.15em; padding: 0px 0.3em; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: 550; background-color: rgba(119, 119, 119, 0.3); border-radius: 3px; display: inline;">^~</code>
for the second rule fixed the problem, but I still wonder why my
approach didn’t work. ;)</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Speaking of
Stackoverflow, I ended up asking the <a
href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76396334">question
there also</a>. Not to take this conversation away from this
list, but since your answer was helpful, feel free to chime in
there too if you’re looking for some upvotes :)</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Thanks,<br>
Jore</p>
