Hello Francis,
Thank you for your answer.

I have not installed anything like that at the moment but I'll use fastcgi I think. I'm not sure I fully understand your answer though.

According to your answer I should write something like this
location = /page.php {
if ($arg_arg = nginx) {
     return 302 /nginx;
     }
# proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass, or whatever is appropriate
}



> What should happen for /page.php?arg=other ?
I didn't think about this case but if arg=other, I would like the redirection to go to www.domain.org/http

> And for /page.php?arg=nginx&other?
I'm not sure I understand but the arguements provided will be arg=nginx&language=ru. So yes there could be more than one argument. But my Apache setting has only one argument at the moment and I'd like to move from Apache to Nginx.
