Francis,

thanks for your response!

I wonder if you saw the server block that I had included in my original message? Doesn’t it answer your question regarding all the other requests?

My goal is to serve only requests which include URI /files/hash/* using a separate location block. Everything else should be served by the default location block I included in my previous message.
