my Nginx report in error log with
2012/07/24 13:00:16 [notice] 19056#0: *3275841 "^(GET|HEAD|POST)$" matches "GET", client: 42.114.191.177, server: _, request: "GET /template/images/loading.gif HTTP/1.1", host: "domain.com", referrer: "http://domain.com/"</code></pre>
And in nginx.conf
server {
if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$ ) {
return 404;
}
}
I don't know why nginx noticed that in error_log
