The "upload" module is not part of stock nginx -- it is a third party
module. It does some useful things, including making it easier for you
to write your own CGI-like script to handle file uploads.

But it looks like you are using a "standard" file upload CGI script,
which expects things the "normal" way, rather than the way that the
upload module presents things.

I think that you can probably do without the upload module at all.

So if you remove the whole "location ~ /bin/diag/upload {}" block, and
then change your current "location @fastcgi" to instead be "location
= /bin/diag/upload" (so that it handles only this request directly),
then I think that things might Just Work.

Note: only do this as a test. If you use @fastcgi anywhere else in your
config, this change will break that. In that case, if the test succeeds,
you can change things so that everything still works.

Good luck with it,
