For this error, maybe you should configure

proxy_ignore_client_abort on;

for your dev location with proxy_pass.

But using ngx.eof() for this will still introduce extra delay for the
subsequent requests on the current downstream connection when HTTP
keepalive or HTTP pipelining is enabled.

The recommended way is to use cosocket-based http library like Brian
Akins's lua-resty-http-simple [1] (instead of subrequests and
ngx_proxy) in a 0-delay timer created by ngx.timer.at() [2] (instead
of the ngx.eof hack).

BTW, it's recommended to join the openresty-en mailing list [3] for
such ngx_lua related questions that way you may get more responses and
get responses sooner.

For your very use case, maybe lower level tools like tcpcopy [4] is a
better fit? Not sure though :)
