I've just read through your posts. And I do understand all those
frustrations involved ;)

You're very welcome to provide patches for bug fixes, new features,
and documentation and I'm very willing to give you a commit bit to the
test-nginx repository :)

After reading your posts, I now understand your actual requirement
here a bit more. In our tests, we usually make use of nginx
subrequests to achieve similar results, though not exactly the same
ones:

    === TEST 1:
    --- config
         location /foo { ... }
         location /main {
              echo_subrequest POST /foo -b 'correct value';
              echo_subrequest POST /foo -b 'bad value';
              echo_subrequest POST /foo -b 'correct value';
         }
    --- request
         GET /main
    --- response_body
    OK
    ERROR
    OK

I agree this is not ideal though ;) We've been using this paradigm extensively.
