nginx upload module bug? (proxy_temp_path ignored)

[Valery Kholodkov]

Hi Wincent!

It seems that you're right: it's bug. If no upload handler is configured in location I should prevent module from registering the path. Unfortunately it's not possible to default this path to value of proxy_temp_path.

I'll prepare a fix for this problem.

Sorry for late response: I've missed your message in tons of mail.
