I'm unsure of the meaning of limit_except. This is how I understand the
syntax:
limit_except METHODS { (ALLOW-CLAUSE | DENY-CLAUSE)* }
where METHODS is a list of HTTP method tokens and the clauses are
('allow' | 'deny') SP+ (IPADDR | HOSTNAME | 'all' )+ ;
Is that it? Can anything else go in the block? Any other allowed values?
My understanding is that "limit_except" simply associates a method
with a list of allow/deny clauses governing use of the method.
Yes. Currently several directives are allowed here only:
allow/deny
auth_basic_...
proxy_pass
and perl
What confuses me is the name. Why "except"? Is "accept" the
intention? As in "server, please limit the acceptance of this method
according to the allow/deny clauses that follow."
This directive is similar to
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitexcept
Currenty there may be one limit_except block per location.
Sometimes I think it may be usefull to allow several limit/limit_except
blocks per location to use something like this:
limit LOCK UNLOCK {
perl ...
}
limit_expect GET {
...
}
