How to redirect an encoded url slug with nginx?

@gilbert 

To redirect an encoded URL slug in nginx, you can use the "rewrite" directive in the server block of your nginx configuration file. Here's an example of how you can do this:

1. Open your nginx configuration file. This is typically located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.
2. Inside the server block, add a rewrite rule to redirect the encoded URL slug to the desired location. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    rewrite "^/encoded%20url%20slug$" /new-location permanent;
}

In the above example, any requests to "http://example.com/encoded%20url%20slug" will be redirected to "/new-location" with a 301 status code (permanent redirect).

1. Save your changes and restart nginx for the configuration to take effect:

1

sudo systemctl restart nginx

After making these changes, any requests to the encoded URL slug will be automatically redirected to the new location specified in the rewrite rule.
