Glad you're enjoying it.  I'm still not completely happy with
some of the internals (the IPC stuff is a bit adventurous and
perhaps overkill), but functionality's getting slowly fleshed
out.

Btw, since you seem to be figuring things out without existing
docs, could I convince you to start manpages for lei?

Don't feel obligated, but it might be better for everybody since
my brain tends to skip over stuff that's only obvious because I
designed it :x (and my brain feels "off" :<)

I'm envisioning git-style manpages, with subcommands each having
their own manpage and an lei-overview(7) with common examples
as quick-start for beginners.

Thanks, it may be nginx-specific behavior, but
https://public-inbox.org/meta/20210124114655.12815-7-e@80x24.org/
should do the trick.

That '' is a syntax error for me, and curl nags on -XPOST
with -d, so I've omitted -XPOST from my patch.  Thanks again for
the report.
