And you'd obviously want to finalize the subrequest, probably do 
something like ngx_http_finalize_request(sr, NGX_OK).  I don't think you 
could just issue this on its own, since I think the subrequest's sockets 
wouldn't automatically be closed until the main request was finalized 
(but it's been a while since I've done core hacking, and I can't 
remember for sure).
