Ngx_chunkin v0.20: fixed some memory bugs and added support for chunked PUT

Hi, folks!

I’ve just pushed a new release (v0.20) for my ngx_chunkin module:

http://github.com/agentzh/chunkin-nginx-module/tarball/v0.20

Here’s the changes included in this version:

*  fixed a bug that may read incomplete chunked body. thanks Gong

Kaihui (¹¨¿ªêÍ).
* fixed various memory issues in the implementation which may
cause nginx processes to crash.
* added support for chunked POST requests.
* now we always require “error_page 411 @resume” and no default
(buggy) magic any more. thanks Gong Kaihui (¹¨¿ªêÍ).

This module adds HTTP 1.1 chunked input support for Nginx without the
need of patching the Nginx core.

Behind the scene, it registers an access-phase handler that will
eagerly read and decode incoming request bodies when a
Transfer-Encoding: chunked header triggers a 411 error page in Nginx.
For requests that are not in the chunked transfer encoding, this
module is a “no-op”.

To enable the magic, just turn on the chunkin config option and define
a custom 411 error_page using chunkin_resume, like this:

server {
chunkin on;

error_page 411 = @my_411_error;
location @my_411_error {
    chunkin_resume;
}

...

}

Note that nginx 0.8.41 and 0.7.67 are confirmed to work with this
version. Nginx releases newer than 0.8.41 will NOT work due to this
issue:

(There has not been any replies from the nginx author.)

I’ve just kicked ngx_chunkin v0.21 out of the door, which applies a
patch from Gong Kaihui that fixed a small bug:
