static POST

[Igor Clark]

Hi Igor,

I've applied the patch to a fresh copy of 0.6.32 and I'm having the  
same problems POSTing to named locations.

Configuration:

	location / {
		index   index.php;
		error_page  404 =   @phpapp;
	}

	location @phpapp {
		fastcgi_pass		127.0.0.1:9000;
		fastcgi_index	index.php;
		fastcgi_param	SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root/test.php;
		fastcgi_param	SCRIPT_URL  $fastcgi_script_name;	# for use in  
particular PHP framework
		include			fastcgi_params;
	}

Form:

	<form method="GET" action="/blah"> <input type="text" name="value">  
<input type="submit"> </form>

PHP script:

	<pre><?	print_r($_SERVER); ?></pre>

This configuration works as expected. When I change the form method to  
POST

	<form method="POST" action="/blah"> <input type="text" name="value">  
<input type="submit"> </form>

and submit the form, the client hangs, and I get the attached debug  
from nginx, the connection only apparently closing because I press the  
browser's "stop" button, and an internal nginx 499 is generated.

Any ideas what's happening?

Cheers,
Igor
