Description
I'm working on trying remove the restriction added many many years ago (https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/commit/414db1a80b489cca4fbab96fddc018ccd61dab78). As far as I can tell, there's no intrinsic reason why we can't make this work, it just requires careful analysis across any yield points.
Any advice for me while I work on this?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked historical commit that added the restriction, then map the yield points involved in accessing cosockets across requests. The issue names no files or tests; done would require a carefully analyzed and implemented change that removes the restriction without breaking request or yield behavior.
