NGINX and PATCH method: Empty reply

[blacksrv]

Hi, Happy New Year to all.

I'm having problems with my just updated NGINX and PATCH method.

I updated my DA to use NGINX using this guide: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=556

Everything went fine (some minor tweaks for URL re writing) except for PATCH request.

I have an app using PATCH request, I get an empty reply everytome, I tried to add it to conf file:

	location / { 
		if ($request_method = 'PATCH') {
        		add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
	        	add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
		        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS';
		}
	}

Any ideas why isn't working?

Hello,

By default NGINX installed with custombuild allows only "GET|HEAD|POST" methods. You need to modify its config:

        if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) {
                return 444;
        }

This is what I have in my nginx.conf:

	location / { 
		if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST|PATCH)$ ) {
                	return 444;
	        }
	}

But I'm getting the same, empty response. I tried to do a grep, but the only file I found with the line was on /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build.

What I'm missing?

What do you see in nginx logs? What HTTP code do you see in response?

First of all thank you for your response,

Just empty, according to my console:

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

According to cUrl:

curl: (52) Empty reply from server

52 means:

CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)
Nothing was returned from the server, and under the circumstances, getting nothing is considered an error.

This is what I have in the LOG:

[07/Jan/2015:10:17:09 -0600] "PATCH /api/v1/Preferences/549a079ab18d1 HTTP/1.1" 444 0

So a 444 but with 0 bytes?

You should check

/etc/nginx/webapps.conf
/etc/nginx/webapps.hostname.conf
/etc/nginx/webapps.ssl.conf

as well.

Thanks, it seems it's working now.
