ok, a quick update after having glanced through the source - you'll need to set BOTH 'modern_browser', and 'ancient_browser' (otherwise, u'll just hit into major frustration - like i did). The 'modern_browser' format is as per the examples, and the doc, while 'ancient_browser' has to follow the format as given in 'Examples'.<br>

as per subject, I'm playing around with the http browser module right now, and I just can't seem to get it to work.<br><br><a href="http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpBrowserModule" target="_blank">http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpBrowserModule</a> itself seems confused as well. In the first part ("Selection of the index file"), it uses the format 'modern_browser msie 5.5' - while in Examples, this format is pointed out as broken.<br>
<br>Either way - I'm expecting for the value of $ancient_browser to only be set when nginx actually detects an ancient browser as set up by the 'ancient_browser ...' lines. However, it seems that even without specifying any ancient_browser lines, the $ancient_browser value is set?<br>
<br><br>to show a snippet of my nginx.conf:<br>========<br>location / {<br> if ($ancient_browser) {<br> redirect .* /${ancient_browser}.html redirect;<br> }<br> proxy_pass <a href="http://127.0.0.1:1000" target="_blank">http://127.0.0.1:1000</a>;<br>
}<br>========<br><br>This triggers the redirect no matter what - FF3, MSIE 7, MSIE 8, ...<br><br>Am i doing anything wrong here? I'm using nginx 0.8.54, compiled from <a href="http://nginx.org" target="_blank">nginx.org</a> (and I havent disabled the http browser module)<br>
