NGINX does not pass POST request when posted to /

  • 772

The issue occurs when sending a post request {username:'admin', password: 'password'} to http://guy.lt/fbb?foo=bar. The output is {"foo":"bar"}, though the expected output is: {"foo":"bar","username":"admin","password":"password"}. (PHP backend outputs JSON encoded $_REQUEST) However, if I send POST request directly to http://guy.lt/fbb/index.php?foo=bar, I get the expected output.

All the relevant config:

    NginX cannot POST to a static file (url without a files extension)

    You need to change the POST into a GET by proxying to self.

    See this gist for relevant components of my solution: https://gist.github.com/1021739
