nginx - WebFont CORS rule never matched

[mdoelker]

In the current version of the nginx site config (2012-07-23 that is) following snippet

  # Cross domain webfont access
  location ~* \.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|font.css)$ {
      add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" "*";
  }

is always outmatched by preceeding

  # Media: images, video, audio, HTC, WebFonts
  location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|gz|svg|svgz|ttf|otf|woff|eot|mp4|ogg|ogv|webm)$ {
    expires 1M;
    access_log off;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
  }

Unfortunately it's not possible to have multiple locations match as the docs say:
"The first regular expression to match the query will stop the search."

A possible fix would be to remove webfonts extensions from the media block and change the webfont block to

  # Cross domain webfont access
  location ~* \.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff)$ {
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://www.clans.de";
    expires 1M;
    access_log off;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
  }
