How to block POST requests?

[Calomel]

You can also use regular expressions for a bit more flexibility. This
way you can explicitly accept only the request methods you allow and
return the error code of your choosing.

## Only allow GET and HEAD request methods
      if ($request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD)$ ) {
         return 444;
      }
