NGX_AGAIN and POST data

[Brian Bruns]

Hi Valery,

First, thanks for all your help, I'm slowing getting a handle on the
internal workings of nginx but it's been a bit of a learning curve.

I did some more digging and what I'm finding is that everything is
indeed working correctly except the connection is not closed after the
results are returned.  Here is the transaction with my module in the
loop:

request:

POST /hello HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 10

abcd=12345

response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/0.7.19
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 03:02:41 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 11
Last-Modified: Mon, 28 Sep 1970 06:00:00 GMT
Connection: close

hello world

The connection then hangs until another character is sent from the
client to the server at which time it closes.

I've replicated the same request using fastcgi/perl and it works flawlessly.

Any thoughts on why my module would require additional input from the
client to close the connection?

Thanks again,

Brian
