283	proxy_method does not support variable dereferencing	gcnovus.myopenid.com		"See [http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2008-January/002881.html this email from five years ago].

The following doesn't work:


{{{
location /proxy {
  internal;
  set $proxy_to_url $upstream_http_x_proxy_to_url
  set $proxy_to_host $upstream_http_x_proxy_to_host
  set $proxy_to_method $upstream_http_x_proxy_to_method
  proxy_set_header Host $proxy_to_host;
  proxy_pass $proxy_to_url;
  proxy_method $proxy_to_method;
}
}}}


The other directives interpret the arguments as variables to dereference, but proxy_method does not. This is particularly important for the case where a request is from a browser that doesn't support PUT or DELETE, so the upstream server has to calculate the verb."	enhancement	closed	minor		nginx-module	1.3.x	fixed	proxy		Darwin MyMachine.local 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:25:48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64	"nginx: nginx version: nginx/1.0.4
