If we return here, we're not caching the request body.

@locao ,
Just out of curiosity, why are we caching the request body? Used somewhere else?

@khaled4vokalz yes, it is not used directly by this plugin, but exposed in the request ctx variable so logging plugins can use it to log full request details.

I understand sharing it via the ctx but as we're using ngx.shared memory space to cache things, caching some object which is not used for anything seems a bit ambitious to me. There can be large request bodies from clients. That's the reason I asked. I was wondering if it'll be a good idea to remove the request_body from the cached object to save some space.

One more thing here is that the ctx we're using in the plugin itself is the plugin context that's not shared between plugins for use, rather it's only available in this plugin's lifecycle.

Removing it now is not expected by custom plugins which can use this field. It can go from just changing the behavior to break someone's logging process completely.

But if you're using Kong Enterprise Edition, you can select redis as a caching strategy :)

Actually, we copy the cached data to the shared context when cache is hit.
