All syntactically correct methods are allowed by nginx by default
when proxying. 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.
