Undocumented in the long term or just still not?
Because meanwhile it will be used from "half" world... I know at least a
dozen companies, using that.

What confuses me, that a header_only subrequest to fastcgi works fine!
And what I mean was, it can be not "post_action" self, but possible all
"header_only" requests via ngx_http_named_location etc. so in this case
many things are affected (including third-party modules).
