How to match all files with or without extension, except those with the extension txt, pdf, jpeg.

On my Nginx configuration this downloads all the files without any restriction.

location ~ .+(?<!.pdf|.txt|.jpeg)$ {
        
    auth_request /auth.php;
    error_page 401 = @login;
}

Thanks

    Solved I auth.php was not included as an exception which would cause a loop.

    location ~ .+(?<!/|auth.php|.txt|.pdf|.jpeg|.jpg|.png)$ { 

    auth_request /auth.php;
    error_page 401 = @login;

}

    What about defining two locations? E.g.

    location ~ .(pdf|txt|jpeg)$ {
    # handle those with the extension pdf, txt, jpeg
}
location / {
    # handle all files with or without extension
}
