You can also use regular expressions for a bit more flexibility. This
way you can explicitly accept only the request methods you allow and
return the error code of your choosing.
## Only allow GET and HEAD request methods
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$ ) {
return 444;
}
Hello - I am using the latest nginx 6. When I try to do as you say above I am
getting the error in the nginx error file: unknown directive "if" in xyz.log
I am using your exact block as above and from your web page, like this:
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$ ) {
return 444;
}
I have tried this within the main server directive as well as from within
location directives, but always get this error. Obviously I am missing
something? Thanks.
