That shouldn't happen unless your client_body_buffer_size is really
really big.

http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#client_body_buffer_size

nginx will only buffer in memory up to the value of
client_body_buffer_size; beyond that, it will buffer to disk.

How do you determine that nginx buffers the whole file in memory?

All the best,
