How to exclude specific addresses in nginx's rewrite rules

Question

How can rewrite rules exclude specific paths?
For example, the entire site uses HTTPS, but /XXX/ does not use HTTPS
By rewriting ^(.*) https://$host$1 permanent; you can all jump to the https address, but among them http What should I do if I don’t want to force HTTPS for all content at ://abc.com/XXX/? Because some clients do not support HTTPS, they cannot all be banned at once.

Answer 1

Just put it in front, refer to the code

location /XXX/ {
   index index.php;
}

location / {
    rewrite ^(.*) https://$host permanent;
}

Answer 2

First use location to exclude the exception path, and then do rewrite.
