It looks like you are trying to do something which simply cannot be done. For example, consider a configuration with "proxy_request_buffering off;" - in such a configuration request body is being read _after_ the request is passed to the upstream server, and you simply cannot validate request body before passing request headers to the upstream server. As long as you have to examine both request body and request headers, I think there can be two possible solutions: 1. Install a phase handler, in which read the request body yourself, and check both request headers and request body once it's read. See the mirror module as an example on how to read the body in a phase handler and properly resume processing after it. This will break proxying without request buffering, though might be good enough for your particular task. 2. Install a phase handler to check request headers, and a request body filter to check the request body. Do checking in both places, and abort request processing when you see that data aren't correct. This will work with proxying without request buffering, but will be generally more complex to implement. And, obviously, this in case of proxying without request buffering this won't let you to validate request body before the request headers are sent to upstream server.
