serve content from a wget mirror

[Steve Wilson]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an archive based on a current site which is due to
be taken down, I've used "wget -m" to mirror the site and all seems well
except I'm having trouble with what I think are arguments in the url.

Most everything seems to work ok and this is currently my only issue. I
have on disk the file /dir/page.php?a=1&b=2 for example but nginx
returns a 404 when accessing http://localhost/dir/page.php?a=1&b=2, I've
tried adding $args to the try_files directive but it's not made a
difference and my google-fu is more google-fail today.

Can someone point me in the right direction please? My current test
config is below.

user www-data;
worker_processes 4;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
    worker_connections 768;
}
http {
    sendfile on;
    tcp_nopush on;
    tcp_nodelay on;
    keepalive_timeout 65;
    types_hash_max_size 2048;
    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type application/octet-stream;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
    gzip on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";
}
server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
    root /home/steve/archive;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
    server_name localhost;
    location / {
        try_files $uri$args $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}
