Possible to match location directive in nginx with a port number? - nginx

Question

I have a config that looks like:
1)
server {
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /static {
alias /home/www/flask-deploy/project/static/;
}
}
2) updated
server {
listen 8080;
server_name mysite.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /static/ {
root /home/www/flask-deploy/blog;
}
}
Updated issue:
If I view mysite.com:8080/static/css/main.css , i can see this, but if i visit mysite.com:8080, it will show the content for #1 not #2

Answer 1

The first configuration includes alias directive and the second consists root. So, that is the reason for the difference in their behaviour. Here are examples of matching URIs and real path in fs for both configurations:
1
location /static {
alias /home/www/flask-deploy/project/static/;
}
http://somehost:80/static/somefile -> /home/www/flask-deploy/project/static/somefile
http://somehost:80/static/dir/somefile -> /home/www/flask-deploy/project/static/dir/somefile
2
location /static/ {
root /home/www/flask-deploy/blog/static;
}
http://somehost:8080/static/somefile -> /home/www/flask-deploy/blog/static/static/somefile
http://somehost:8080/static/dir/somefile -> /home/www/flask-deploy/blog/static/static/dir/somefile
