Process http request before send it to the proxy

[Sergey Brester]

Hi, 

If you want parse/modify request data before you pass it to upstream,
take a look at NGINX-UPLOAD-MODULE, that do it similar way you may need
- reads request (POST/multipart), save file-data into temp-file(s), and
rewrite arguments pointing to this new file(s).

If you want rather to do something like external authorization, the
handling like `auth_request` from `NGX_HTTP_AUTH_REQUEST_MODULE` may be
interesting for you.

Filters mostly modify response resp. do the replacement in response
body/header (that will be already received from upstream via
proxy_pass), so it would be too late in your case.
