echo_location doesn't return the status code #55

Hi

If you have a configuration like below

`location /foo { echo_location /bar; }

location /bar { proxy_pass http://some-server }`

Making a call to /foo always returns 200 instead of returning the status code returned by some-server.

@grvsaxena419 In nginx's design, a subrequest's response status code does not affect its parent request by default. This is understandable since a request can have multiple subrequests and they can carry different status codes. In your example, echo_location initiates a subrequest, whose status code won't affect the main request, by definition.
