Description

To reproduce:

nginx.conf excerpt:

location /tmp/ {

alias /tmp/;
autoindex on;
dav_methods PUT;

}

location /test/ {

proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length 0;

}

on a console:
socat TCP-LISTEN:8000,reuseaddr,crlf stdio

chrome console:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.open("put", "http://<scrubbed>/test/1234")
xhr.send("fubar")

socat:
PUT /test/1234 HTTP/1.0
X-Real-IP: <scrubbed>
Content-Length: 0
Host: localhost:8000
Connection: close
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Origin: http://<scrubbed>
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.57 Safari/537.17
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: */*
Referer: http://<scrubbed>/
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

HTTP/1.0 200
X-Accel-Redirect: /tmp/asdf

nginx/error.log:

2013/02/13 20:08:12 [error] 1494#0: *12474 open() "/tmp/asdf" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.8.189, server: , request: "PUT /test/1234 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/test/1234", host: "<scrubbed>, referrer: "<scrubbed>"

If I try to do a PUT request directly, it creates the file...

By the way, a hack to get around this is to do something like this:

location /tmp/ {

allow 127.0.0.1/32;
deny all;
alias /tmp/;
dav_methods PUT;

}
location /tmp_proxy/ {

internal;
proxy_pass http://localhost:80/tmp/;

}

and then pass /tmp_proxy/... to X-Accel-Redirect

Now you can use Nginx for downloads as well as uploads! and the application only handles the auth and management

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

As of nginx 1.5.4, the auth request module is available out of the box to do such things with less effort.
