Nginx wont send POST to fastcgi backend, but GET works fine?
- by xyld
Not sure why, but it is happy sending a GET to the fastcgi backend (Mercurial hgwebdir in this case), but simply resorts to the filesystem if the request is a POST.
Relevant parts of nginx.conf:
location / {
root /var/www/htdocs/;
index index.html;
autoindex on;
}
location /hg {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/hg-fastcgi.socket;
include fastcgi_params;
if ($request_uri ~ ^/hg([^?#]*)) {
set $rewritten_uri $1;
}
limit_except GET {
allow all;
deny all;
auth_basic "hg secured repos";
auth_basic_user_file /var/trac.htpasswd;
}
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME "/hg";
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $rewritten_uri;
# for authentication
fastcgi_param AUTH_USER $remote_user;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
#fastcgi_pass_header Authorization;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
GET's work fine, but POST delivers this error to the error_log:
2010/05/17 14:12:27 [error] 18736#0: *1601 open() "/usr/html/hg/test" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: XX.XX.XX.XX, server: domain.com, request: "POST /hg/test HTTP/1.1", host: "domain.com"
What could possibly be the issue? I'm trying to allow read-only access via GET's to the page, but require authorization when using hg push to the same url which sends a POST request.
