It is *possible* to POST to a url with a query string, but it is
unusual. And I believe that the upload module doesn't automatically
process the query string for you.

The right thing for you to do is probably to send all of these key-value
pairs within the body of the POST request, and just let the upload module
do what it is good at.

If you really want to POST with a query string, then you'll want
something like

    upload_set_form_field filename $arg_filename;

in the nginx config.

Note that this will cause nginx to send the key-value pair in the body
of the POST request it makes to the backend, not in the query string.

You don't need any module at all, you just need a working form handler
as the backend.

But it is useful to use the upload module, to make the backend form
handler simpler.

Good luck with it,
