Thanks for your kind comment, I read that before.

The patch fixes exactly what it fixes.
Accessing the request body after it was discarded (for example from a 413 
custom handler) is a sign of misconfiguration.
Indeed for a misconfigured nginx there is a problem with a HTTP/1 body 
currently being discarded as well as other inconsistencies.
This may or may not be fixed in the future, but anyway it's a separate issue, 
which does not exist in a properly configured nginx.

We understand your hard feelings about leaving the project. Hope you'll be ok.
