Reading http://mdounin.ru/hg/ngx_http_auth_request_module/file/a29d74804ff1/README
slightly more carefully, I understand the distinction you're seeing. I
still think it's trivially replaceable with X-Accel-Redirect *if* you
are in control of the URI structure.

Do read that page I linked - it really can do this!
