Description

Take the following nginx config snippet:

if ($request_method = OPTIONS) {
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
  add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
  add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
  return 204;
}
if ($request_method != OPTIONS) {
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
}

The headers are not applied to the response regardless of the request type.

If the if statements are removed entirely, leaving just the following it works fine:

add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';

From what I can see there are two opposing conditionals and neither seems to be evaluated.

Most likely your configuration contains more that just these two conditions, and that's what causes your problems. As written it works fine here.

Please make sure to read http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil page, which explains that the "if" directive behaviour is somewhat counter-intuitive and may not do what you expect it to do in some cases.
