Having issues with nginx / root captures (0.7.53)

[Michael Shadle]

sorry, that was supposed to be bar.com - i just messed up substituting

2009/4/30 Igor Sysoev <is at rambler-co.ru>:

> First, "~^foo(.*?)\.bar\.ssgisp\.com$" will never match "foo2.mike.bar.com".
> Second, "~^foo(.*?)\.bar\.com$" will capture "2.mike" with "foo2.mike.bar.com".

You're right though, something in the files is messing with my matching.

What is it in this file that is setting up some sort of capture?

For some reason this turns a

foo123.mike.bar.com into /home/mike/web/foo, not foo123

does -any- regular expression mess with the regexps

location ^~ /robots.txt {
        auth_basic off;
        root /etc/nginx/robots;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* googlebot) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* looksmart) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* crawl) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* robot) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* findlinks) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* infoseek) {
        return 404;
        break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~* search) {
        return 404;
        break;
}
