Research direction

Start by reading the echo_flush documentation and the module's handling of subrequests, then compare that behavior with nginx 1.5+ core chunking. The issue names no files or tests and does not define a code change; done would require a confirmed answer and, if support is missing, a documented scope for implementing it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey

For echo_flush it states:

This directive will fail to flush the output buffer in case of subrequests get involved

Does chunking subrequests work however with this module (on nginx 1.5+; chunking is part of nginx core since 1.3.9)? (no need for echo_flush then)
