Module ngx_http_rewrite_module

The ngx_http_rewrite_module module is used to change request URI using PCRE regular expressions, return redirects, and conditionally select configurations.

The ngx_http_rewrite_module module directives are processed in the following order:

  • the directives of this module specified on the server level are executed sequentially;
  • repeatedly:
    • a location is searched based on a request URI;
    • the directives of this module specified inside the found location are executed sequentially;
    • the loop is repeated if a request URI was rewritten, but not more than 10 times.
