+
+## URL Rewrite Setup for MyChart Provider Finder 
+
+SRH wants to use a vanity URL for a third party hosted application which only presented IIS xml configuration documentation so I'm translating it here for transparency. I've included Claude.ai and Github Copilot translations from the origin 👉🏻 📄 [documentation](https://davidawindham.com/wha/srh_rewrites.pdf)
+
+## Variables
+
+- CustomDomain: https://providers.selfregional.org
+- CustomProviderFinder: providers
+- CustomHostID: MySelfRegional
+- MyChartDomain: https://mychart-np.et1235.epichosted.com/MySRHTST/
+- MyChartSiteName: MySRHTST

+
+# Nginx configuration equivalent to IIS rules
+
+```sh
+server {
+    listen 80;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+
+    # Rule 1: Provider Finder Example
+    # IIS: providers* -> rewrite to external URL with query param
+    location ~* ^/providers(.*)$ {
+        rewrite ^/providers(.*)$ https://mychart-np.et1235.epichosted.com/MySRHTST/MySRHTST/-/providers$1?host=MySelfRegional last;
+    }
+
+    # Rule 2: Vanity MyChart Redirect Example  
+    # IIS: MySelfRegional/* with HTML accept header -> redirect
+    location ~* ^/MySelfRegional/(.*)$ {
+        if ($http_accept ~* "text/html") {
+            return 302 https://mychart-np.et1235.epichosted.com/MySRHTST/MySRHTST/$1;
+        }
+        # If not HTML request, fall through to Rule 3 (Assets Example)
+        rewrite ^/MySelfRegional/(.*)$ https://mychart-np.et1235.epichosted.com/MySRHTST/MySRHTST/$1 last;
+    }
+
+    # Rule 4: MyChart Redirect Example (with spaces - appears to be duplicate/typo)
+    # This seems to be a duplicate of Rule 2 with extra spaces, handling it as fallback
+    location ~* ^/\s*MySelfRegional/(.*)$ {
+        if ($http_accept ~* "text/html") {
+            return 302 https://mychart-np.et1235.epichosted.com/MySRHTST/MySRHTST/$1;
+        }
+    }
+
+    # Provider Finder with host parameter handling
+    location ~* ^/-/providers {
+        if ($args ~* "host=") {
+            # This handles the precondition logic for provider finder
+            rewrite ^/-/providers(.*)$ /MySelfRegional/$1 last;
+        }
+    }
+
+    # Provider Finder Canonical URL handling
+    # This is more complex in Nginx as it involves response body modification
+    # You would typically use nginx's sub_filter module for this:
+    location ~* ^/(app/providers|/-/providers) {
+        if ($args ~* "host=") {
+            # Enable response body modification
+            sub_filter_once off;
+            sub_filter_types text/html text/css text/xml application/javascript;
+            sub_filter 'https://[^ ]*(app/providers|/-/providers)([^ ]*)/' 'https://providers.selfregional.org/providers$2';
+        }
+        # Continue processing the request normally
+        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Additional configuration notes:
+
+1. The IIS "Hosted Provider Finder" rule with filterByTags is complex
+   In Nginx, you'd need to use the sub_filter module or a Lua script
+   to modify response content based on HTML tags
+2. For response body modification (Rules 5-7), you may need:
+   - nginx sub_filter module (basic text replacement)
+   - nginx-lua module (for complex logic)
+   - Or handle this at the application level
+3. Make sure to enable these modules if needed:
+   load_module modules/ngx_http_sub_filter_module.so;
+4. The stopProcessing="true" behavior is handled by using 'last' flag
+   in rewrite rules and proper location block ordering
+
+
+Here are the key differences and considerations when translating from IIS to Nginx:
+Important Notes:
+
+1. Rule Processing Order: Nginx processes location blocks in a specific order (exact match → longest prefix → regex). The IIS stopProcessing="true" is handled by the last flag in rewrites.
+
+2. Wildcard vs Regex: IIS uses wildcard patterns (*), while Nginx uses regex. I've converted providers* to ^/providers(.*)$.
+
+3. Complex Response Modification: Rules 5-7 in your IIS config involve modifying response content based on HTML tags. This requires additional Nginx modules:
+- sub_filter module for basic text replacement
+- nginx-lua module for complex logic
+- Or handle at the application level
+
+4. Conditional Logic: IIS conditions become Nginx if statements, though Nginx's if is generally discouraged except for simple cases like checking headers.
+
+5. External Rewrites: Your rules rewrite to external URLs, which Nginx handles well with the rewrite directive.
