ngx_postgres_handler discards $request_body

[cwells]

Example #5 of the README demonstrates a simple RESTful API, but a useful API is not really achievable since any POST data is discarded by ngx_postgres_handler, so no records can be added or changed unless the data can be calculated within Nginx or PostgreSQL.

You are correct, but this is by design. POST data should be extracted by ngx_form_input, ngx_lua or similiar module before it reaches ngx_postgres_handler, because by that time it's useless anyway.

This should be closed.
