I ran into an instance recently where I wanted a low cost solution to serving up pregenerated files by date on the server.
We couldn't allow users to fetch on their by query string or similar; the server had to be in charge.
location /example-endpoint {
set $file "index.json";
if ($time_iso8601 ~ "^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})") {
set $file "$1-$2-$3.json";
}
index $file index.json =404;
}
This will look for a file of 2022-07-10.json
, default to index.json
, and then a 404.
It allows you to setup a lot of pregenerated content on the server that changes per day without the ability to skip ahead.
No additional processing required.
