nginx redirects all files with or without extensions except a few

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
}
