- location /javascript/ {
+ location ^~ /javascript/ {

The patch was commited:

Changes with nginx 0.7.11                                        18 Aug 2008

Changes with nginx 0.6.33                                        20 Nov 2008

    *) Feature: now nginx returns the 405 status code for POST method 
       requesting a static file only if the file exists.
