It looks like you don't understand how things work.  First 
of all, when the ngx_http_read_client_request_body() function 
returns, it doesn't mean that the request body was successfully 
read, and the body handler function was already called.

You may want to start with reading more about event-driven 
programming in general.  Also, as previously suggested, you may 
want to read Development guide, it has enough information about 
how things work and how they are expected to be handled.

Also, if you want to better understand how nginx works, consider 
reading nginx source code - it is the only direct source of the 
information.
