This option has both pros and cons: - on the one hand, it saves resources when you have to access request body as a single memory block - e.g., via $request_body variable; - on the other hand, it wastes resources when nginx is reading body from client, as it has to do an extra allocation and memcpy() if some parts of the body happened to be already read with the request header. Additonally, right now this option does not work at all and marked as TODO. See src/http/ngx_http_request_body.c for details. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx-devel
