Research direction

Start with get_client_body_reader and the ngx.req.socket behavior described in the issue, then check how ngx.req.read_body could handle chunked request bodies. Done means get_client_body_reader no longer returns nil for a chunked request body.

Description

Hi @pintsized

get_client_body_reader return nil for a chunked request body. it's because ngx.req.socket is not yet support chunked request body.

however,i think lua-resty-http should fix the case with ngx.req.read_body.

thanks.
