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

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.
