Redirect question

[Friscia, Michael]

Ok, that worked out really well. 

For anyone following I had to go here
https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,279172,279176#msg-279176
because our exchange server destroyed the sample URLs. 

But I’m not sure how the location order is mitigated. Is this because the first location match is a regex instead of just a string match?

    Something like this:
    
         location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) {
             return  301  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_users_-24REST-24is-5Fargs-24args&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=dwsx2pgviho1mDEe9-eSJOsU6L5YomDKne9pGahGEII&e=;
         }
    
    However, if you do not want to care about location order in future, this is better:
    
         location /people/ {
             location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) {
                 return  301  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__example.com_users_-24REST-24is-5Fargs-24args&d=DwIGaQ&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=wvXEDjvtDPcv7AlldT5UvDx32KXBEM6um_lS023SJrs&m=3O_LBJK37dgtTRVYwIUXbeYZOEoMAFuwQka4abHmvc0&s=dwsx2pgviho1mDEe9-eSJOsU6L5YomDKne9pGahGEII&e=;
             }
         }
