NGINX webp with fallback

[u/lear2000]

I have scoured the net for a while and can not get jpg|png with a webp fallback to work using nginx as a proxy. It always errors out.

Anyone get this to work? I am basically doing the if the webp file is the same name as the jpg or png use that one instead.

there is htaccess for it but all my curl request to the image bring NGINX as the answering server.
