Remove parameters within nginx rewrite

Question

I\'m rewriting URLs in nginx after a relaunch. In the old site I had query parameters in the URL to filter stuff e.g.

http://www.example.com/mypage.php?type=         


        

Answer 1

Had a similar problem, after a lot of searching the answer presented itself in the rewrite docs.

If you specify a ? at the end of a rewrite then Nginx will drop the original $args (arguments)

So for your example, this would do the trick:

location ^~ /mypage.php {
    rewrite ^/mypage.php$ http://www.example.com/mypage? permanent;
}
