>> Exactly. I think my rationale was that I wanted a way for the backend to communicate with Nginx that it should treat file upload request differently so I append 'fileupload' to the url. I tried adding a url parameter (eg ?fileupload=1&_s=...) but couldn't find a way to trap that within Nginx configuration. Originally I used #updateUrl: to add the 'fileupload' to the url, now I use javascript as I also add an 'X-Progress-ID=' for the upload tracking.
