apache to nginx rewrite rule

[Ilan Berkner]

Thanks, but no, I'm not confusing location with host name.

I'm trying to redirect any requests on our domain as follows:

https://www.ourdomain.com/youtube/v/mydjFYoD4WS&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=1

to:

http://www.youtube.com/v/mydjFYoD4WS&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=1

This is to solve a SSL warning issue.  We're already doing it on another
site using the .htaccess rule I provided.

See: http://www.adammershon.com/display-youtube-videos-on-ssl-page/

for more specific information and example.
