terminate a connection after sending headers

[erankor2]

Thank you very much Maxim ! this works !

However, I bumped into a new problem, I use 2 different types of asyncronous
operations in my code - file I/O and http requests. When I call
ngx_http_run_posted_requests from the aio callback it works well, but when I
call it from the HTTP completion callback it actually makes the request
hang. 
I can see that it calls ngx_http_upstream_check_broken_connection in
r->write_event_handler(r). I guess that in this case I should let
ngx_http_run_posted_requests run from the upstream module instead of calling
it myself.

So my questions are:
1. Is there a simple rule that dictates when I should call
ngx_http_run_posted_requests and when I should not ? 
I can work around the problem by doing something like 'if called from the
aio callback call ngx_http_run_posted_requests' otherwise, don't call, but
that doesn't feel like the correct solution. 
2. A simpler solution that seems to work for me, is to call
ngx_http_run_posted_requests only when I see that r->main->count is one
(before finalize). But I don't know if that solution makes any sense - is
there any relation between these posted_requests and the request count ? 
My understanding (before reading your reply :)) was that whenever I do
something asynchronous I must increment the count, whenever I call
finalize_request the count is decremented and once the count reaches zero
the request is terminated. So, what I'm missing is why the termination of
the request has to be deferred via posted requests - couldn't
ngx_http_terminate_request just close the request only when it sees the
count reached zero instead ?

Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it !
