Hello

are there any plans to implement uri rewriting or something in a manner
of 'try_files' configuration option of nginx?
I plan to add a URL stripping option, somewhat more powerful than the
nginx alias directive:


root [strip number] directory
        Set the document root of the server.  The directory is a
        pathname within the chroot(2) root directory of httpd.  If not
        specified, it defaults to /htdocs.  If the strip option is set, number
        path components are removed from the beginning of the URI before
        directory is prepended.

this would allow you to do for example:

location "/wiki/" {
         strip 1
         root "/dokuwiki"
         directory index "doku.php"
         fastcgi socket "/tmp/php.sock"
}
it would be absolutely nice to have something like try_files for 
locations and servers.

like

location "/some/" {
    root "/some/"
    try_files $uri index.php?$uri
}
