632	option to send the access log to stdout	Igor Bukanov		"When nginx runs in a container or under a process manager that provide own logging facilities or to prevent the nginx process from manipulate the written log it would be useful if the `access_log` directive supported setting the log path to stdout similarly as `error_log` allows to send the log to stderr.

As a workaround in some cases one can use `access_log /dev/stdout` or similar. However, as nginx calls `open()` on the supplied path that may fail depending on how the receiving end of stderr and its permissions is set up. A better workaround is to use mkfifo to create a named pipe and then use `cat /path-to-pipe` to send the log out, but this is messy.
