There is still my nginx_upload_progress module.
This is a hack that works only with 1 worker process.
This also hasn't really been tested under load (and I have at least one
user reporting a few crash that are being investigated (but couldn't be
reproduced in the lab)), but YMMV.

You can find the source code and more information here:

Let me know if you use this.
