Nginx Browser rewrite rules cause 404 errors in static files

    Again, thanks for this great plugin!

    The browser cache rules cause 404 errors in static files when using alias.

    So, part of my config in /sites-available/ would be.

    location /masters1/ {
			add_header Content-Disposition "attachment";
			alias /masters1/;
}

    And these rewrite rules cause my server to throw 404 errors when I search for those files (www.example.com/masters1/myfile)

    location ~ \.(css|htc|less|js|js2|js3|js4)$ {
    expires 31536000s;
    etag on;
    if_modified_since exact;
    add_header Pragma "public";
    add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public";
    add_header X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/0.9.7";
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.(html|htm|rtf|rtx|svg|txt|xsd|xsl|xml)$ {
    expires 0s;
    etag off;
    if_modified_since exact;
    add_header Pragma "public";
    add_header Cache-Control "max-age=0, public";
    add_header X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/0.9.7";
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.(asf|asx|wax|wmv|wmx|avi|bmp|class|divx|doc|docx|eot|exe|gif|gz|gzip|ico|jpg|jpeg|jpe|webp|json|mdb|mid|midi|mov|qt|mp3|m4a|mp4|m4v|mpeg|mpg|mpe|mpp|otf|_otf|odb|odc|odf|odg|odp|ods|odt|ogg|pdf|png|pot|pps|ppt|pptx|ra|ram|svg|svgz|swf|tar|tif|tiff|ttf|ttc|_ttf|wav|wma|wri|woff|woff2|xla|xls|xlsx|xlt|xlw|zip)$ {
    expires 31536000s;
    etag on;
    if_modified_since exact;
    add_header Pragma "public";
    add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public";
    add_header X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/0.9.7";
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.(bmp|class|doc|docx|eot|exe|ico|webp|json|mdb|mpp|otf|_otf|odb|odc|odf|odg|odp|ods|odt|ogg|pdf|pot|pps|ppt|pptx|svg|svgz|swf|tif|tiff|ttf|ttc|_ttf|wav|wri|woff|woff2|xla|xls|xlsx|xlt|xlw)$ {
    etag off;
    if_modified_since off;
    try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html /index.php?$args;
}

    Obviously, if I remove the file extensions that I use in my alias then it works, but I use both audio and image files and I want to get the browser cache for images.

    Any ideas on how can I make this work?

    The location where you specify the alias is an exact match, where the locations added for browser caching are regex matching. The The exact match won’t match for URLs like /master1/myfile, but it will match the browser cache, trying to look for the file in the normal docroot. I think you need this:

    
location ~ /masters1/.* {
	add_header Content-Disposition "attachment";
	alias /masters1/;
}

    But I cannot test it without access to your server, so you should play around and check on Google for NginX alias directory matching.

    Thanks again for your great help. Your code gave a 403 error. I was finally able to solve it with this rule.

    location ^~ /masters1 {
	add_header Content-Disposition "attachment";
	alias /masters1;
			
}
