limit_except ignored

[Maxim Khitrov]

Hi,

I'm running nginx v1.9.10 on OpenBSD with the following server definition:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    location / {
        deny all;
        limit_except POST {
            allow all;
            proxy_pass http://10.1.2.3;
        }
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

To my surprise, all GET requests are allowed and are passed to the
backend server. Is this a bug or am I doing something stupid? In the
final configuration I want to only allow GET requests, but I'm
limiting to POST for now to simplify testing.
