Let me show one variant of nginx.conf's:
   location / {
     include proxy.conf;
     eval_subrequest_in_memory off;
     eval_override_content_type text/plain;
     eval $res {
       include spam_fastcgi.conf;
       if ( $request_method = POST) {
         fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/nginx/cgiwrap-dispatch.sock;
       }
     }
    if ( $res = SPAM) {
      rewrite ^ /terms-of-use.html redirect;
    }
   }
I have some foreign spam analyzer which I'm running like fastcgi server 
written in perl.
I tried to use $request_body as fastsgi_param arg, it was empty;
Wrote module which creates $post_body var in rewrite stage and with echo 
$post_body it works, but on subrequest it gives empty body (I guess 
because it not passing POST into subrequest)
maybe somebody have any ideas how to realize it other way, or may be how 
to get POST in subrequest?


Thank you any ideas.
