My current rewrite works for http://www.domain.com/af-856757-filename.txt but not for http://www.domain.com/directory/af-656556-filename.txt

I am trying to achieve the following:

Request: http://www.domain.com/images/afv-585785-something.gif Would normally retrieve from : /public/images/afv-585785-something.gif

I need it to actually retrieve : /public/images/something.gif

So basically it needs to remove the "afv-######-" portion from the file request.

I am doing this for cache/expire versioning purposes. I tried the following but it only works on the root folder and not subdirectories.

location / { rewrite ^(.*)/afv-(.*)-(.*)$ $1/$3 last; }

What am I doing wrong?

What do you mean by subdirectories ?
