Better handle absence of controlling headers.
Don't do any processing if there is no X-Compose headers. If there is no
X-Compose-Length, clear content length and disallow ranges.

Compose module for nginx. This module allows compose several subrequests into one reply. The same thing may be achieved by SSI, but unlike SSI this module will also set Content-Length and allow range requests. Basically it grabs X-Compose and X-Compose-Length headers from original reply and does the following: 1. If X-Compose-Length present, sets Content-Length to it's value. 2. Composes multiple subrequests from X-Compose headers. When used without X-Compose-Length it's basically identical to SSI and not needed. The X-Compose-Length header must be calculated correctly by somebody. To compile nginx with compose module, use "--add-module <path>" option to nginx configure.
