I am trying to use mirror module for multiple requests, one usecase that I am interested in is sending PUT request to additional/mirror location.

During that process I realized that PUT request became GET.
When I took deeper look on subrequest function "ngx_http_subrequest(...)" I noticed that new request is always setup as GET.
I was expecting behavior to be something like:

--- a/src/http/ngx_http_core_module.c
+++ b/src/http/ngx_http_core_module.c

+ } else {
+ sr->method_name = ngx_http_core_get_method;
+ }
sr->http_protocol = r->http_protocol;
sr->schema = r->schema;

What is the reason that I am missing and make Subrequests suitable for GET only requests?

Thank you
Maciej
