Write a url path parameter to a query string parameter in nginx

Question

I'm trying to rewrite a place name from a url path into a query string on nginx.

I want ourdomain.com/hotels/london?some_key=value to become ourdomain.com?d=london&some_key=value

We were doing it with Apache -

RewriteRule ^hotels/([^/]+)/?\??(.*)$ ?d=$1&$2 [QSA]

And we're currently doing on haProxy (acting as a reverse proxy) -

reqrep ^([^\ :]*)\ /hotels/([^/\ \?]+)/?\??([^\ ]*)(.*)$     \1\ /?d=\2&\3\4

How do I do the same thing on nginx?

Try something like:

rewrite ^/hotels/([^/]+)/?$ /?d=$1 permanent;

The nginx URI always has a leading /. The ? and query string is not part of the normalised URI, but the rewrite directive appends any arguments automatically unless there is a trailing ?.

See this document for details.
