In my nginx.conf file on my Windows computerI have the following code in 
nginx.conf.

http { # http context specific to HTTP affecting all virtual servers

# force incoming URLs to lower case
     map $uri $lowercase {~ ^(.+)$ /$1};

When I run nginx -t I get the following error.

nginx: [emerg] invalid variable name in C:\nginx/conf/nginx.conf

What am I dong incorrectly?

Thanks,

    Victor

You may need to remove space after tilde symbol, after that
everything works as expected:

map $uri $lowercase {
        ~^(.+)$ /$1;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        location / {
                return 200 "lowercase=$lowercase\n";
        }
}

Test:

% curl 127.1:80/foobar
lowercase=//foobar
