Question: How to implement the limit_except directive?

[cocoonkid]

I have successfully implement basic auth on my main route / for my application by adding the data/htpasswd file named <FQDN>.

Now I want to add a limit_except directive like:

cat <FDQN>_location

location /api {
    proxy_pass <FQDN>;

    limit_except POST {
        basic auth "off";
        }
}

Basically any route any method should ask for auth with exception of POST /api

I tried quite a few different solutions but none of them worked.

I hoped I can find an answer here ;)

Hello @cocoonkid!

Thanks for you question.

Here is some help how you may customize the nginx-proxy or even only a few hosts, follow the link below to the nginx-proxy documentation:
