I have to migrate a lot of URLs with params, which look like that:
/somepath/somearticle.html?p1=v1&p2=v2 --> /some-other-path-a
and also the same URL without params:
/somepath/somearticle.html --> /some-other-path-b
The tricky part is that the two destination URLs are totally different pages in the new system, whereas in the old system the params just indicated which tab to open by default.
I tried different rewrite rules, but came to the conclusion that parameters are not considered by nginx rewrites. I found a way using location directives, but having 2000+ location directives just feels wrong.
Does anybody know an elegant way how to get this done? It may be worth noting that beside those 2000+ redirects, I have another 200.000(!) redirects. They already work, because they're rather simple. So what I want to emphasize is that performance should be key!
