if $request_uri , then ...

[Joe Aston]

Thanks for your suggestion Fernando.

Surely 'if (!-f $request_filename)' performs a stat check to see if the file
exists - thereby increasing disk overhead?

Couldn't the regexp be reversed to exclude matching '.php'?

Does this make sense:

location ~ ^/(js|css|images|etc)/(.+)(?<!\.php)$ {
            root /var/www/domain.com/public;
            access_log off;
            expires max;
         }

(I know that's almost certainly incorrect - but is that kind of regular
expression possible?)

Thanks again
