A correction.
Nginx will not buffer the data, it will ignore successive write requests.

The buffering must be done by the application.

For the moment I will raise an exception when the data cannot be 
completely written to the client (IMHO this does not forbidden the WSGI 
spec, but, of course, it is not very useful).
