633	limit_except causes 404	Tom Vaughan		"This does not work:

{{{
    location / {
        limit_except OPTIONS {
            auth_basic ""Access is restricted."";
            auth_basic_user_file /srv/app/www/htpasswd;
        }
        try_files $uri $uri/ @app;
    }

    location @app {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:///run/uwsgi/app/app/socket;
    }
}}}

$ curl -ski https://localhost -X OPTIONS
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

$ curl -ski -u username:password https://localhost -X GET                                                                    
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

error.log:
[error] 23859#0: *25 ""/var/www/site/index.html"" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 127.0.0.1, server: localhost, request: ""GET / HTTP/1.1"", host: ""localhost""

But this does work:

{{{
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @app;
    }

    location @app {
        limit_except OPTIONS {
            auth_basic ""Access is restricted."";
            auth_basic_user_file /srv/app/www/htpasswd;
        }
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:///run/uwsgi/app/app/socket;
    }
}}}

Previously I had:

{{{
    auth_basic ""Access is restricted."";
    auth_basic_user_file /srv/app/www/htpasswd;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @app;
    }

    location @app {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:///run/uwsgi/app/app/socket;
    }
}}}

This works too with the exception that OPTIONS requires a username and password."	defect	new	minor		nginx-core	1.7.x				Linux vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64 3.13.0-35-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 15 01:58:42 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux	"nginx version: nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)
