Quick question about try_files

[Aaron Starr]

Hello, all.

nginx version: nginx/0.7.67

This works great to look first in fast local storage, and then fall back to
slower storage for older archives:

    location ^~ /providers/ {
      error_page 404 = @archives;
      log_not_found off;
    }
    location @archives {
      rewrite "/providers/(.*)" /archives/providers/$1 last;
    }

I thought I could tidy this up by doing the following, but it doesn't work:

    location ^~ /providers/ {
      try_files $uri /archives$uri @mongrel_app;
    }

Anyone see why? Thanks in advance.

Aaron
