How to allow only POST calls to serve Nginx static json files

Question

HI i am trying to serve static json files from Nginx. However i want to serve these static files only via POST request and disable the GET calls.

Is there any way to do so.

Just include the following in your location block for static files:

limit_except POST {
    deny all;
}

This will send a 403 for every request not using POST as HTTP method..

BTW, there are different ways to achieve this, such as CORS, but I think it's out of scope here.
