I need to proxy_pass static assets (.js .css) based on file extension and query strings.

For example:

domain.com/foo.css - go to upstream1 domain.com/foo.css?V=1234 - go to upstream2

Reason is I have a 3 server setup - a router, an application server and a static server. I would like any request with clean url domain.com/foo.cs to go to upstream1 (where my static server is configured). And any request that has query string url domain.com/foo.css?V=1234 to go to upstream2 (where my application server is configured).

Maybe it can be done using http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule?

Thanks!

Use a map.

map $arg_v $node {
    default        upstream1;
    "~^[0-9]+$"    upstream2;
}


server {

    listen 80;
    server_name domain.com;

    location ~ \.(css|js)$ {
        proxy_pass http://$node;
    }

 }

  • Hi Xavier, This does seem to sort of work. However, it just sends requests to upstream1. When I try to request domain.com/test.js?V=asdf or domain.com/test.js?V=1234 it always proxies to upstream1. I guess I should update the regex ? – Radoslav Stefanov Oct 22 '14 at 11:12
  • @RadoslavStefanov There's no reason that test.js?V=1234 would be proxied to upstream1. How do you test it, and what's your full config ? If you have not only digits then yes you will need to update the regex. – Xavier Lucas Oct 22 '14 at 11:22
  • I just applied this config for testing and requested domain.com/bla.js?V=1234 map $arg_v $node { default 192.168.10.1; "~^[0-9]+$" 192.168.10.2; } server { listen 192.168.10.80:80; server_name domain.com; location ~ \.(css|js)$ { proxy_pass http://node; } } This actually gives me an error: nginx: [emerg] host not found in upstream "node" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/test:13 – Radoslav Stefanov Oct 22 '14 at 11:32

    @RadoslavStefanov Oh yeah, typo in my post. Use `$node` not `node`. – Xavier Lucas Oct 22 '14 at 11:35
