使用参数将旧网址重定向到Nginx

Question

I have an old URL structure like this archives.php?l=e and I moved it to a new structure archives/e

I'm trying to 301 redirect all the old urls, but I have run into troubles. This is what I'm currently doing but it's not working.

location ^~ /list.php {
    rewrite /archives/$1/ permanent;
} 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out and I have to say Nginx has some nice magic for this. Using arg_l solved it. Somehow it creates a variable for each param.

location ^~ /archives.php {
    rewrite ^/archives.php$ /archives/$arg_l? permanent;
}
