What is the Ideal way to spoof files in nginx (alias, try_files or rewrite)

Question

I'm trying to spoof file location by sending long url to the server, the server translate it to the proper php file and return the result, example:

I send a link like this:

http://example.com/fakelocation/123/456/789

I want the server to translate it like this:

http://example.com/myfile.php?arg=123&arg2=456&arg3=789

I have tried for several hours with no luck, also the third arg should be optional.

Thanks!

To prevent direct access to some files, isn't that obvious? – Cyb3r Oct 08 '15 at 20:59 — Cyb3r, Oct 08 '15 at 20:59

I got it working like this:

rewrite ^/fakelocation/(\w*)/(\w*)/(\w*)? /myfile.php?arg1=$1&arg2=$2&arg3=$3 last;
