Hello, all,

I would like to configure nginx to return a file if the request method is
GET. But, if the request method is PUT or POST, I'd like for the back end to
handle it. So, ideally, something like this:

location / GET {
try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @missing;
}

location / PUT {
proxy_pass http://sinatra;
....
}

location @missing {
return 404;
}

I understand that that particular syntax isn't possible. Is something like
this the best way to do it?

location / {

if ($request_method = PUT) {
proxy_pass http://sinatra;
....
break;
}

try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @missing;
}

location @missing {
return 404;
}

I'm aware that if==bad, but not sure if there's a better way to redirect
traffic based on the request method?

Thanks for any help,

Aaron
