729	proxy_cache_methods is ignored	Alan Orth		"I am attempting to only cache GET requests. Here is the relevant proxy_cache configuration:

{{{
proxy_cache_key $scheme$request_method$host$request_uri;
proxy_cache_methods GET;
}}}

Generating an explicit HEAD request:

{{{
$ http HEAD http://web01/
}}}

Results in a cache entry with the following key:

{{{
KEY: httpsHEADweb01/
}}}

I can't figure out how to instruct nginx to stop caching HEAD requests."	defect	closed	minor		nginx-core	1.7.x	invalid			Linux web01 3.13.0-46-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 2 18:23:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux	"nginx version: nginx/1.7.10
