You are using "if" inside "location" and doing something other than
"return".

That combination makes it too hard for me to understand what is happening.

I won't be surprised to learn that that combination is the reason your
"deny" directives do not act the way you want them to.

It looks to me like you can safely move all of these "if"s to server{}
level, outside the location{}.


If you do that, does it change the response that you get at all?

Cheers,
