always_forward_body=true not working

[颜博]

My nginx has the following configuration (it forwards and mirrors the parent request to the /pgsql, /mongo locations, and receives the response result of /pgsql)

```conf

        http {

            ......

            log_subrequest on;

            proxy_buffering off;

            proxy_request_buffering off;

            ......

        }

        location /test

        {

            error_log /data/logs/error.log debug;

            lua_need_request_body on;

            content_by_lua_block {

                local reqBody = ngx.req.get_body_data()

                local reqUri = ngx.var.uri or ""

                local resPg, resMongo = ngx.location.capture_multi( {

                                {"/pgsql".. reqUri, { method = ngx.HTTP_POST, body = reqBody , args = ngx.var.args, always_forward_body=true }},

                                {"/mongo".. reqUri , { method = ngx.HTTP_POST, body = reqBody , args = ngx.var.args, always_forward_body=true }}

                            })

                ngx.status = resPg.status

                for k, v in pairs(resPg.header) do

                    ngx.header[k] = v

                end

                ngx.print(resPg.body)

            }

        }

        location /pgsql

        {

            if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' '*';

                add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';

                add_header 'Content-Length' 0;

                return 204;

            }

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' '*';

            rewrite ^/pgsql/test$ $original_path break;

            proxy_pass http://xxx:xxx/test;

            proxy_http_version 1.1;

            proxy_set_header   Connection       "";

        }

        location /mongo

        {

            if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*';

                add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' '*';

                add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';

                add_header 'Content-Length' 0;

                return 204;

            }

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' '*';

            add_header 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers' '*';

            rewrite ^/mongo/test$ $original_path break;

            proxy_pass http://xxx:xxx/test;

            proxy_http_version 1.1;

            proxy_set_header   Connection       "";

        }

......

```

I hope nginx can forward requests in a streaming manner (forward when receiving a request, forward when receiving a response), so I configured proxy_buffering off, proxy_request_buffering off, always_forward_body=true. But after capturing the packet, I found that

- The subrequests of /pgsql and /mongo are forwarded only after receiving the body of the parent request;

- The response result is also forwarded only after receiving the response of /pgsql;

I saw the documentation description：`always_forward_body` when set to true，...... The request body read by either [ngx.req.read_body()](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#ngxreqread_body) or [lua_need_request_body on](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#lua_need_request_body) will be directly forwarded to the subrequest without copying the whole request body data when creating the subrequest (no matter the request body data is buffered in memory buffers or temporary files).

Can someone take a look at and give me some guidance?

Thanks.
