Reverse-proxy Nginx + Apache .webp support

[UncleBobby]

Hello there. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to serve .webp images for browsers that support it automatically when both webp and png/jpg files are available in the same directory.
I have seen bunch of .htaccess quick fixes (like this one https://images.guide/#how-do-i-serve-webp)but none of them works for me, and then i remembered that i'm running Reverse-proxy.

Does that mean that images are severed by nginx and the .htaccess i ignored??
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this followup question, but how can i achieve the same thing using nginx.conf?

The page in question:
https://digionline.no/webp/

Im running:
Centos 7.1908
Reverse-proxy Nginx + Apache
CB 2
PHP 7.2 and 5.6 (php-fpm)

As far as I know nginx does not support htaccess. See this SO answer.

I thought as much but also why does my redirect-rules work when i have them in .htaccess?
Does that mean htaccess works except for when it is effecting static files handled by nginx?

The .htaccess file is processed by Apache sitting behind Nginx, if any redirection is to be happen it will be respected. Apache will find a redirect/rewrite in .htaccess and make nginx to load a needed file. If the things are not working as intended, then you either a have an error in rules or your setup is not completed.
