As Maxim pointed out specifically in a not-that-old message, the  
‘post\_action’ directive is left undocumented on purpose, since it  
implies  
carefulness and knowledge to manipulate properly.

Although my request might seem naive to certain people, wouldn’t it be  
more  
profitable to document the directive properly and highlight details  
required to be known (either specifically or talking about the approach  
people should have in mind before using it) to allow its public use  
which  
can prove highly interesting?

Transparency appeals me more than obscurity in order to make Nginx an  
even  
more amazing piece of work… and help widening the possibilities based  
on  
it.

## Some partial documentation appears on the Wiki anyway. What about an official support of that intention?
