Hi, thanks for the fast answer!
Yes, I am using nginx on Windows and I didn't know about that restriction.
Since the project I'm working on requires that (damned!) final point, do you know a way to overcome this restriction?
For example, I thought about cygwin but I'm not sure if it would work.

Thanks again,
Robertof

Hello.
I'm having a problem with nginx's rewrite directive.
Basically, when the URL contains a trailing point, it is ignored by
the rewrite regexp.
Let's do an example:
I load http://uri/something. (with the trailing point). Then, with
the rewrite rule:
rewrite ^/something\.$ /index.html
I should see 'index.html', but instead that appears in the logfile
(with rewrite_log set at on):
2013/05/22 20:36:07 [notice] 6256#1440: *57 "^/something\.$" does
not match "/something", client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost,
request: "GET /something. HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost"
As you can see, the trailing point is missing from the "does not
match" part of the log.

Is there any workaround for that?
Are you using nginx/Windows?  On Windows trailing dots and spaces
in URIs are ignored as they aren't significant from filesystem
point of view and otherwise can be used to bypass access
restrictions.
