can't make minify rewrite work

[hubrix]

I simply can't get this rewrite to work, perhaps someone who understands nginx better than i do can help, from what i can tell it's ignoring the existance of this rewrite
i've tried it in a bunch of places

rewrite  ^/wp-content/cache/minify-(.+?)-(.*?)\.(css|js)$ /wp-content/plugins/minify/make.php?hash=$1&type=$3&incr=$2 break;

putting it the css/js location causes it to serve the make.php file instead of processing it.

 location ~ \.(css|js|htc)$ {
    #rewrite  ^/wp-content/cache/minify-(.+?)-(.*?)\.(css|js)$ /wp-content/plugins/minify/make.php?hash=$1&type=$3&incr=$2 break; 
    try_files       $uri =404;
    expires         max;
    add_header      Pragma "public";
    add_header      Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
    #access_log      off;
  }

Did you try asking on stackoverflow?

I went down this path and fell into the same rabbit hole. It's on the TODO list, so please let us know what you find. Thanks.
