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

SOLVED with this.

location /resources {
location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|pdf)$ {
if ($request_uri ~ .*%.*) { return 301 https://example.com/resources/weather-documents/historical-rainfall-trends-south-africa_1921_2015.pdf; }
if ($request_uri ~ .*[^\x00-\x7F]+.*) { return 301 https://example.com/resources/weather-documents/historical-rainfall-trends-south-africa_1921_2015.pdf; }
}
