Parse JSON POST request into nginx variable

[Robert Paprocki]

There is a form input module you can use to parse POST body into a variable:

https://github.com/calio/form-input-nginx-module

However this will not get JSON data. For this you make want to look into
leveraging the nxin Lua module in conjunction with the Lua cjson module:

The openresty package combines the above two modules into one package :)
