I think you should be able to use the ngx_http_echo_module to achieve 
this.  Just use an echo_subrequest directive to send a request to the 
URL that you want.  This request will only be made once the upload has 
completed.  Any other module that calls a subrequest after the files 
have been uploaded should work too.

One thing : if you don't know the server that you'll connect to at the 
time the config file is read, you'll need to set up a resolver for DNS.

Good luck!
