Fixed socket leak with "return 444" in error_page (ticket #274). Socket leak was observed in the following configuration: error_page 400 = /close; location = /close { return 444; } The problem is that "return 444" triggers termination of the request, and due to error_page termination thinks that it needs to use a posted request to clear stack. But at the early request processing where 400 errors are generated there are no ngx_http_run_posted_requests() calls, so the request is only terminated after an external event. Variants of the problem include "error_page 497" instead (ticket #695) and various other errors generated during early request processing (405, 414, 421, 494, 495, 496, 501, 505). The same problem can be also triggered with "return 499" and "return 408" as both codes trigger ngx_http_terminate_request(), much like "return 444". To fix this, the patch adds ngx_http_run_posted_requests() calls to ngx_http_process_request_line() and ngx_http_process_request_headers() functions, and to ngx_http_v2_run_request() and ngx_http_v2_push_stream() functions in HTTP/2. Since the ngx_http_process_request() function is now only called via other functions which call ngx_http_run_posted_requests(), the call there is no longer needed and was removed.
