Limit IP req/s excl bots

Server NGINX

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this blog post:

And if so where about in the code its implemented? I was trying to find
out
if its possible to use a map to control limit req/s limits but I still
cant
find the code that does what that article says is possible.

Regards,
Mathew

I also think I found that 0 length keys wont be stored. This isn’t in
the
documentation but if I understand the code correctly they aren’t, is
this
correct?

I could use a map then and get considerable flexibility.

Just a quote from the documentation (Module ngx_http_limit_req_module):

| The key is any non-empty value of the specified variable (empty
values
| are not accounted).

It’s in the documentation, see Alphabetical index of directives

: … The key is any non-empty value of the specified variable (empty
: values are not accounted). …

The configuration provided in the post linked doesn’t do any
whitelisting. Though it’s mostly trivial to introduce one using a
map{}.
