A developer wants to serve files from /var/www/site/ for URLs starting with /assets/, but the files are stored in /var/www/site/public/. Which configuration correctly maps /assets/css/style.css to /var/www/site/public/css/style.css?

location /assets/ { root /var/www/site/public/; }

location /assets/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/public/; }

location /assets/ { rewrite ^/assets/(.*)$ /var/www/site/public/$1 break; }

location /assets/ { alias /var/www/site/public/; }

A web application has a login page that must always be processed by the application server to validate credentials, while the rest of the site is static. Which configuration ensures the /login/ URL is always dynamic?

location /login/ { proxy_pass http://app_server; }

location /login/ { root /var/www/html; }

location /login/ { return 302 /index.php; }

location /login/ { try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }

What is the key difference between the root and alias directives when serving static content?

root requires a trailing slash, while alias does not.

root appends the full URI to the specified path, while alias replaces the matched location part with the specified path.

root is used for dynamic content, while alias is used for static content.

root can only be used in the http block, while alias can only be used in server blocks.

Disable all caching to ensure content is always fresh

Enable caching headers on the static location and keep dynamic locations uncached
