limit_req inside a if block - Not allowed ?

[Harish Sundararaj]

Hi all,

My objective is to apply the limit_req for all requests except  Googlebot.,
So had something like this inside a location context:


limit_req_zone  $binary_remote_addr  zone=one:2m   rate=25r/m; #This piece
of conf is inside a http context

#The below code is inside a location context

if ($http_user_agent !~ Googlebot) {
    limit_req zone=one burst=4;
}

But I get a error :
[emerg]: "limit_req" directive is not allowed here

Is there anyway i can achieve this ?

Thanks,
Harish
