Serve static files from nginx for POST request

This is a quick tip, I haven't had the time to dig deep into this. I am working on a Facebook app, and was doing a demo with static HTML. Everything was set, including SSL (I will write quick tip on that too). I could browse to the page separately. But it failed from within Facebook, giving a 405 error.

From previous experience I remembered Facebook does POST requests, but I had forgotten the fix for static files. For some reason nginx does not allow serving static files for HTTP POST request. Anyway the fix was:

    error_page 405 = $uri;


Also here is another suggestion: Serving Static Content Via POST From Nginx

Hope this helps you.
