No, the problem is not really whether data was sent completely to a peer 
(it is sufficient that the data is in OS buffer)

My problem is how to handle NGX_AGAIN in the write callable, since I 
can't return control to Nginx (and setting the event handlers).

As an example (pseudo code):
   while ((rc = ngx_http_output_filter(r, &out) == NGX_AGAIN) {
       sleep(...)


But this does not works.
