I am trying to setup a regex for the path /s/<4-6 character string here>
where I capture the 4-6 character string as $1.
I tried using the following two entries, but both fail
location ~ ^/s/([0-9a-zA-Z]){4,6}+$ { ...
location ~ ^/s/([0-9a-zA-Z]{4,6})+$ { ...
The first one comes up with 'unknown directive' and the second comes up with 'pcre_compile() failed: missing )'
EDIT
The following routes would be served by this location:
/s/1234 (and I would capture '1234' in $1)
/s/12345 (and I would capture '12345' in $1)
/s/123456 (and I would capture '123456' in $1)
/s/abcd (and I would capture 'abcd' in $1)
/s/abcde (and I would capture 'abcde' in $1)
/s/abcdef (and I would capture 'abcdef' in $1)
/s/a1b2c (and I would capture 'a1b2c' in $1)
The following routes would NOT be served by this location:
/s/1
/s/12
/s/123
/s/a
/s/ab
/s/abc
/s/abc1234
/s/12345678
etc...
