Hence why I was suggesting closing the socket as well as calling
ngx_http_finalize_request. I think the only thing you really need in
the time before the main request finishing is that you don't get any
data on the socket, and your request count is correct. The upstream
request obviously needs to be closed properly, but if the upstream
cleanup function is going to be called anyway by the main request, then
I'm not sure it really makes any difference, and you'd be running
through the cleanup function twice.

Hacky, for sure but it sounds like this is a custom setup anyway. This
is obviously only going to be useful if the body is one that uses
upstream requests.
