251	Option to disable upload buffers	Timothy White	somebody	"Partially related to #159, the ability to disable upload buffers both for FastCGI and HTTP proxying would be very beneficial. Using the Upload module isn't always pratical, requiring a rewrite of some application code. And as a static file accelerator in front of another web server, being able to upload large files and not have it buffer would be very useful. In particular, lots of file uploaders break as the make a second request to get progress, only to find out that the file hasn't even ""started uploading"" as it's still buffering to Nginx.

At the end of the day, if you have to rewrite application code on the web server behind Nginx, then Nginx isn't as useful as a static file server."	enhancement	closed	minor		nginx-core	1.2.x	fixed	buffer uploaded		Linux vmsrv-lino 3.4.2-x86_64-linode25 #2 SMP Tue Jun 26 16:10:49 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux	"nginx version: nginx/1.2.4
