The ngx_http_read_client_request_body() increments r->count as it
expects that r->main->count will be decremented by twice:

- right after the ngx_http_read_client_request_body() call, by
ngx_http_finalize_request() as called automatically on you return
from content handlers;

- later in post_handler, by another ngx_http_finalize_request()
call.

If you do call ngx_http_read_client_request_body() from an access
handler, it should be fine to do "r->main->count--" in
post_handler directly.

(Note well that nginx generally doesn't assume that the request
body will be read before the content phase, and there may be
problems associated with this if you'll try reading request body
in an access handler.)

No, it doesn't. You should do the real work in post_handler.
