Nginx Directory Listing - Restrict by IP Address

[Sathish Kumar]

Hi,

Tried this option it throws rewrite error and am not able to download file
from non whitelisted ip addresses.


ERROR:
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while processing
"/noindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsnoindex_downloadsDownloads/abcd/file.zip",
client: 3.3.3.3, server: abc.com, request: "GET /Downloads/abcd/file.zip
