How to return different data for GET and POST requests in Nginx?

Question

Nginx

Hello.
I would be grateful if you could help me set up the config.

• Return GET request from Android user-agent /java/index.java(one code, no execution)
  
• On a GET request with any user-agent, remove/html/index.html
  
• On POST request, pull back /php/index.php(with request processing in PHP)
  

Answer 1

http_rewrite_module and if directive :

if ($request_method = POST) {
    rewrite ^(.*)$  /php/index.php  break;
}

if ($http_user_agent ~ Android) {
    rewrite ^(.*)$  /java/index.java  break;
}

rewrite ^(.*)$ /html/index.html;

This is just a snippet of the config. There is no PHP processing, no static output - pictures, CSS, JS.
