NGX_AGAIN and POST data

[Brian Bruns]

I believe I have solved my problem.  At the end of my request body
post_handler, I am now doing this:

    ngx_http_send_header(r);
    rc = ngx_http_output_filter(r, &out);
    ngx_http_finalize_request(r, rc);
    return;

I still not sure this is quite right, particularly on which value I
should be sending for the second argument to
ngx_http_finalize_request(), but it does seem to work reliably.

Thank you for all your help,

Brian
