It takes advantage of the "error_page" mechanism in the nginx core,
which is kinda like a try-catch exception mechanism.

To be honest, ngx_chunkin uses lots of hacks to avoid patching the
nginx core and in retrospect, I think it was not a right decision. It
is my 3rd module after all. It could be much more general and much
simpler and much more efficient if it were provided in the form of a
(small) patch :) I may rewrite that module sometime in the future.
