Hi,

I have this rule in my nginx config file

	location ~* \/(fileA.txt|fileB.txt)$ {
		return 404 'nothing here';
	}

but it's not working

but

	location /fileA.txt {
		return 404 'nothing here';
	}

~~is working....~~

Any idea what's wrong ?

Thanks.

You aren't escaping your periods. Try like this:

location ~* \/(fileA|fileB)\.txt$ {
        return 404 'nothing here';
}

I've tried

	location ~* \/(fileA\.txt|fileB\.md)$ {
		return 404 'nothing here';
	}

but still not matching :'(

.md or .txt?

.md is correct, it's a test.
