Thanks for the quick response!

Looks like that is matching how I intend... however it (of course) revealed another issue in my app layer :) But at least the NGINX configs seems correct now.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm running in a somewhat urgent issue where I have to make a
case-insensitive location match on a URI segment that is at the
beginning of the URI.

so I want to match

/uri-segment/*
/URI-segment/*
/Uri-Segment/*
etc..

I know that this will match the start of the URI:
location ^~ /uri-segment
It will, but that's not what the regex-alike "^" means there. There,
it means "... and if this /does/ match, stop immediately and don't
consider any regex matches". See
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location for more information. (I
personally consider this a really bad choice of character by nginx -
it /always/ confuses me!)

and this will match regardless of case:
location ~* /uri-segment(.*)

But chaining them together and using ^~*doesn't seem to work.  Is this
possible?  If so what am I missing?
Seeing how you said this is urgent, I'll not do what I /normally/ do
and just give you pointers to the docs that'll help you :-)

You want

location ~* ^/uri-segment(.*) { }

HTH,
Jonathan
