if $request_uri [not static file], then ...

[Joe Aston]

Thanks - that didn't work, but it at least pointed me in the right
direction (using location directives).

After 45 minutes of toiling with regular expressions, I've got the
following working (ish):

      location ~ ^/(js|css|images|etc) {
         root /var/www/domain.com/public;
         access_log off;
         expires max;
      }

The only problem is that within those folders I have scripts packaging
and compressing CSS and JavaScript i.e:

domain.com/js/compress.php?modules=this,and,that

So nginx pushes the SOURCE CODE of compress.php as a file to the
browser. Not good!

I'll have to rewrite my CSS and JavaScript compression scripts to run
as cron jobs writing to cached files (which I was going to do one day
anyway)

Unless there's an alternative?
