Thanks for thinking about it Igor... just wanted to throw in my
support behind an upload progress module, we really could use it as
well. Right now we just route all upload POST requests to a different
subdomain which routes to port 81 on our frontend servers, which is
running pound, which does nothing but transfer data to our backends
as it comes in. It's not an ideal solution, but it works.

I am running mongrel behind nginx proxy and I am doing upload

upload buffering. Right now nginx buffers the entire file upload
to a tmp file before it sends it on to the proxied backend. Is
there a way to turn this off so that nginx just does a pass
through and lets the backend take care of buffering the file
upload to disk?
Currently nginx always buffer an upload because
1) it is accelerator
2) and to support fault tolerance: if some backend fails, nginx
can resend
the upload to next backend.
I plan to add the upload progress module.

Ok thanks for the info Igor. Is there anything I can do to help
get the upload progress support in quicker? Maybe sponsor the
development? Our customers really need a way to do upload progress
and we use purely nginx and mongrel. I have custom mongrel
extension that supports upload progress right in mongrel already,
so is there no way to get an option for nginx to pass through the
uploaded file? Or would that be too hard to add?
I need to think some time.
