Hi list,

I am trying to get a module working that can read a POST payload from
the client, have a look at it, and pass it on (unchanged) to the
upstream.

Below is the a sample code I wrote for testing purposes. The code
works as desired for very small POST payloads and with Firefox only.
It doesn't work (even for small payloads) in any other major browser I
tried. The reason for that is that FF sends the POST payload in the
same TCP packet as the HTTP headers - while other browser apparently
send at least 2 packets.

Return code from call to ngx_http_read_client_request_body() is
NGX_AGAIN for non-FF browsers.

What am I doing wrong here?
