Hello Nginx team, I am trying to install our solution with Nginx as a reverse proxy. And I am having some problem shown as below. 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/test.doc/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/test.doc/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/list HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” 172.30.2.84 - - [14/Aug/2012:19:51:17 +0900] “GET /api/local/info HTTP/1.1” 400 971 “-” As you can see, 400 bad request error occurred. I have already experienced that I used to handle pound reverse proxy server with our solution. Pound server has xhttp option that allow WEBDAV method from outside through itself. I could solve similar issue under pound server by using xhttp option. below description quoted from pound man page. xHTTP value Defines which HTTP verbs are accepted. The possible values are: ``` (default) accept only standard HTTP requests (GET, POST, HEAD). additionally allow extended HTTP requests (PUT, DELETE). additionally allow standard WebDAV verbs (LOCK, UNLOCK, ``` PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, SEARCH, MKCOL, MOVE, COPY, OPTIONS, TRACE, MKACTIVITY, CHECKOUT, MERGE, REPORT). additionally allow MS extensions WebDAV verbs (SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, BPROPFIND, BPROPPATCH, POLL, BMOVE, BCOPY, BDELETE, CONNECT). additionally allow MS RPC extensions verbs (RPC\_IN\_DATA, RPC\_OUT\_DATA). I want to know same function in Nginx server to solve issue that blocking INFO,LIST,LOCK,UNLOCK. Please let me know how to configure or the way. Thank you in advance.

If method isn’t allowed for a particular resource, nginx will return 405 (Method Not Allowed), not 400 (Bad Request). The above errors aren’t result of method problems for sure, as you can see from request line logged the method used was GET. To find out the reason for errors in question take a look at error log. And you may also want to make sure errors are actually returned by nginx, not by your backend. The size logged (971) suggests it’s at least not nginx standard error page. Maxim D. ---
