I'm afraid I don't fully understand what response you want to send to
what request.

Can you show some examples?

For example, if you issue the "curl" GET commands

  curl -i -H X-Bot:yes http://localhost/one
  curl -i -H X-Bot:no http://localhost/one

(let's pretend that you decide bot-or-not based on the X-Bot request
header), then what response do you want in each case?

http 200 with the content of a specific file on the filesystem; http 301
with a redirect to another location; the response from a proxy_pass to
an upstream server; something else?

And if you issue the "curl" POST commands

  curl -i -d the_post_data -H X-Bot:yes http://localhost/two
  curl -i -d the_post_data -H X-Bot:no http://localhost/two

what response do you want in each case?


(The answer to the question in the Subject: is "you don't" --
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_set_body says "Context:  http, server, location",
which does not include "if" or "if in location". So now we are trying
to find your overall requirements, hopefully to make it clear what the
appropriate nginx config is.)

Cheers,
