Hello all,

I am currently developing a module that has to send a number of subrequests to 
upstream servers, and aggregate them through application logic. I am currently 
doing that through a post-subrequest handler, using the 
NGX_HTTP_SUBREQUEST_IN_MEMORY flag. My problem is that it is possible to 
receive very large responses from the upstream servers, and I end up with the 
"upstream buffer is too small" error, even after bumping the buffer sizes a 
number of times.

It is my understanding that if I drop this subrequest flag, nginx wouldn't try 
to make the response fit in a single buffer anymore, but then I have no idea 
how to get at that buffer chain - my post-subrequest handler only knows about 
the single buffer in the upstream structure and I haven't been able to locate a 
piece of code that would do things differently.

I suppose it would be possible to use an output filter instead of a 
post-subrequest handler for that use case, would that make sense? And last but 
not least, if I go down that road, can I just move my module "declaration" to 
the HTTP_AUX_FILTER_MODULES variable (from HTTP_MODULES), and still have the 
rest of module work fine, or will I need to use a second module for that?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Maxime
