I'm looking for advice, please. Using Nginx v1.18.0 (Ubuntu) which is
"old" but security updated by Canonical, rock solid and very fast, for
several static html sites and as proxy to a couple of other sites using
python or perl. Total ~250k requests/day
Recently logs have started showing ~10k php requests in rapid bursts.
On a proxy to a perl box, this is a serious slow down
I've added the following, appears to work well
location ~ \.php$ {
if ($request_method = GET) {
return 444; # Drop
}
}
I'm considering editing to ^(GET|HEAD|POST)$) {
Any thoughts, downsides, recommendations?
Tnx and warmest regards to all,
Paul
