Question

I want to use rewrite function in my nginx server.

Here is nginx.conf file

...
  location ~ /[0-9]+ {
      rewrite "/([0-9]+)" http://www.example.com/v.php?id=$1 break;
  }
...

I want to ...

url bar in browser : http://www.example.com/1234
real url : http://www.example.com/v.php?id=1234

but I'm in trouble ...

url bar in browser : http://www.example.com/v.php?id=1234
real url : http://www.example.com/v.php?id=1234

If the replacement string begins with http:// then the client will be redirected, and any further >rewrite directives are terminated.

So remove the http:// part and it should work:

location ~ /[0-9]+ {
        rewrite "/([0-9]+)" /v.php?id=$1 break;
}

I needed to use 'last' flag instead of 'break' as the rewritten url is handled by a different location.

what if i want to proxy_pass to service in another port using rewrite?

In my case, I needed to use 'last' to make it work due I had other rules that I wanted to be applied:

location ~ /[0-9]+ {
    rewrite "/([0-9]+)" /v.php?id=$1 last;
}
