Nginx - map single url to file

Question

I'm unable to find how I can map a single URL to a single static file. I tried:

location /feeds/seznam/ {
    alias /path/to/file/feed.xml;
}

but this does not work (in logs I see that it appends index.html to the path).

Try this instead:

location /feeds/seznam/ {
    rewrite ^/feeds/seznam/$ /path/to/file/feed.xml;
}

Working, but /path/to/file.xml must be the URL path, not a filesystem path. – Bruce Aug 08 '13 at 08:03
@Bruce - can you give me an example? – slm Aug 08 '13 at 08:07

@slm, you're looking for `alias /your-file-path;` -- https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#alias – jobwat Feb 07 '17 at 00:51
