Re: Help with location match regex for encoded / unencoded url

I get a match with this regex here - https://regex101.com/r/3Lk2zr/3
​
but then using this
​
location ~ /.*[^\x00-\x7F]+.* {
return 444;
}

still gives me a 404 and not a 444

Likewise I get a match with this - https://regex101.com/r/80KWJ8/1
But then
location ~ /.*([^?]*)\%(.*)$ {
return 444;
}

Gives 404 and not 444 ???? I might just add my regex sucks
