help with nginx configuration

[Dave Cheney]

Hi Rakesh,

The rules for location matching are layed out here

http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxHttpCoreModule#location

I think what you are trying to do might look like this

server {

   server_name ...

   include proxy.conf;

   # match exactly /top.xml
   location = /top.xml {
      proxy_pass http://apache;
   }

   # match *.xml {
   location ~* \.xml {
      proxy_pass http://jetty
   }

}

Cheers

Dave
