Get ngx_http_request_t as a char array

[Tigran Bayburtsyan]

So there is now way of getting or transforming ngx_http_request_t to char *
or byte array ? 
In any case C/C++ socket receiving data as a byte array .... For example
here we can log full request to file as a char * (or string)
https://gist.github.com/morhekil/1ff0e902ed4de2adcb7a 

When I'm saying "string" I don't mean string type, I mean something with a
pointer and size where I can read all request from start to end .... I think
I need something very similar to file logging.

Thanks.

There are two problems here:

- nginx is not receiving a request as a string from tcp socket,
  even if you talk about headers only;

- consequently, it is not available as a string within nginx.
