Capturing Encoded Location Variable Data

[Demitrious Kelly]

Hello,

Given the following two location configurations:

location ~ ^/test/named/(?<foo>.+)$ {
  return 200 $foo;
}

location ~ ^/test/numbered/(.+)$ {
  set $foo $1;
  return 200 $foo;
}
Are the following two results expected?

# curl http://127.0.0.1:8088/test/named/%D7%94%D7%98%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9C

# curl http://127.0.0.1:8088/test/numbered/%D7%94%D7%98%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9C
%D7%94%D7%98%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9C

I have not been able do find any documentation, yet, explaining why these two methods of capturing the same data yield different results.

Thanks in advance!
