Because there's no error in your /body2 request, no log is expected to
be printed ;)

Why $echo_request_body is empty for /body2? Because "echo_subrequest
/sub -f /tmp/hello.txt" produces a request body that consists of
*file* buffers only (such that nginx does not bother reading the whole
disk file into RAM at once) and $echo_request_body only respects pure
*memory* buffers.

The following example comes from the ngx_echo's test suite:

location /main {
echo_subrequest POST /sub -f html/blah.txt;
}

location /sub {
echo "sub method: $echo_request_method";
# we don't need to call echo_read_client_body explicitly here
echo_request_body;
}

where html/blah.txt contains the following contents:

Hello, world

Then GET /main gives

sub method: POST
Hello, world
