Thanks for the idea piespy!  In my case I want to do this from inside a
module.  I've read a little in nginx's source code and saw that
ngx_http_ssi_include handles these SSI requests and then does a call to
ngx_http_subrequest, which I assume I could call also directly in my
module without actually using SSI document...
