Nginx location 的选择规则

The exact logic for selecting a location to process a request is given below:

1. Test the URI against all prefix strings.
2. The “=” modifier defines an exact match of the URI and a prefix string. If the exact match is found, the search stops.
3. If the “^~” modifier prepends the longest matching prefix string, the regular expressions are not checked.
4. Store the longest matching prefix string.
5. Start testing the URI against regular expressions.
6. Break on the first matching regular expression and use the corresponding location.
7. If no regular expression matches, use the location corresponding to the stored prefix string.

Nginx 配置中， location 后面的参数有两种形式： 前缀和正则。 前缀就是一个普通的字符串， 正则以 ～开头， 后面跟一个正则表达式。

1. 测试所有的前缀

2. “=” 修饰符代表精确匹配， 如果精确匹配到了， 搜索结束

3. “^~"修饰符修饰了最长匹配前缀， 正则表达式不再检查

4. 保存最长匹配前缀

5. 开始测试正则表达式

6. 一但匹配到一个正则表达式， 则使用此location

7. 如果没有匹配到正则， 则使用最长前缀
