Forward single request to upstream server via proxy_store !!

[shahzaib shahzaib]

Is there any way with nginx that i could put an hold on the subsequent
requests and only proxy the single request for same file in order to
prevent filling up the tmp folder ? tmp is kept on filling up due to the
multiple users are accessing the same file and file is not downloaded yet.
