HI,

I have following nginx configuration for a MediaWiki based site


server {
        listen 174.36.130.243:80;
        server_name  webhostingneeds.com www.webhostingneeds.com;

        location ~* \.(js|css|rdf|xml|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|jpeg|html)$ {
        root   /home/webhost/public_html/;
        access_log  /var/log/nginx/webhostingneeds.com_static.log;
        }

        location / {
            proxy_pass         http://174.36.130.243:81/;
            proxy_redirect     off;
            proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            client_max_body_size       1m;
            client_body_buffer_size    128k;
            proxy_connect_timeout      90;
            proxy_send_timeout         90;
            proxy_read_timeout         90;
            proxy_buffer_size          4k;
            proxy_buffers              4 32k;
            proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;
            proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
        }
}

The problem is when a file is uploaded to MediaWIki, i shows a page like

http://webhostingneeds.com/File:FILENAME.exten

For example

http://webhostingneeds.com/File:Averttv_device_property.jpg

Since the file extension is .jpg, nginx try to service this as static content.

How i can set nginx to serve static files, pass anything starting with
/File: to apache ?

Thanks,

Santhosh
