Question NGINX Directives Location question

[Noise]

Hi all

what is the different between these locations such:

location ~ /.
location ~* \.
location ~ /\.
location = /

which one is the right one to use in Additional nginx directives per domain ?
i'm a little confused about this an i'm very new to nginx

thx

Well there are a lot of documentation and explanation around for nginx directives like:
https://www.scalescale.com/tips/nginx/nginx-location-directive
Nginx Location Directive Explained - KeyCDN Support
Module ngx_http_core_module

so start read them...

• =: The equal sign can be used if the location needs to match the exact request URI. When this modifier is matched, the search stops right here.
• ~: Tilde means that this location will be interpreted as a case-sensitive RE match.
• ~*: Tilde followed by an asterisk modifier means that the location will be processed as a case-insensitive RE match.
• ^~: Assuming this block is the best non-RE match, a carat followed by a tilde modifier means that RE matching will not take place.

ok thx i read so much and my head is smoking now

i post a thread about my directives in the wrong section i do a new thread next time because i change many things.

one question i have here again

what is the different between this:

location ~* .(png|gif|ico|jpg|jpeg)$ {
  # Matches requests ending in png, gif, ico, jpg or jpeg.
  # Any request to the /img/ directory are handled by the location block above.
}

and this:

location ~* .(?:png|gif|ico|jpg|jpeg)$ {
}

i search a directive who takes me javascript with .js? like this:

/media/widgetkit/widgets/spotlight/js/spotlight.js?wkv=1.4.9
