The original requirement is from here.

Current Situation

nginx-clojure will read request body in non-blocking way before invoking content handler so that a content handler can get the body stream easily, e.g.

• Java

InputStream body = request.get(MiniConstants.BODY);

• Clojure

(:body request)

If request body buffer size is smaller than the request body size temp file will be used. Request body buffer size can be controlled by nginx directive client_body_buffer_size and it is two pages size ,e.g. 8k by default .

Changes for This New Feature

UPDATED v2

1. We'll extend the existing directive always_read_body whose default value is before_content_handler
2. When always_read_body is off nginx-clojure won't try to read request body, content handler can add a channel listener to accept downstream read events.
3. When always_read_body is on it is equivalent to before_rewrite_handler
