Thanks guys for the suggestions.

@calin - I have tried doing that but it messes with the verification page
and am not sure how to implement it correctly.

@Magicbear - I have put that code in there before the rewrite but then after
the rewrite when I try to access that cookie it is not there. I should have
been a little more clear on what I have tried and my config. Here is the
flow of the rewirte.

location / {
error_page 503 = @recaptcha;
if ($verifyvariable)
{
return 503;
}
}

location @recaptcha {

add_header Set-Cookie "originrequest=$request_uri path=/
expires=2m";
secure_cookie $cookie_CAPTCHA_SESSION,$cookie_CAPTCHA_EXPIRES;
rewrite ^ /captcha.html redirect;
}

location = /captcha.html {
#this has a form that submits information and goes to
/verify
}

location = /verify {
eval_inherit_body on;
eval_override_content_type 'text/plain';

eval $verify_content {
proxy_method POST;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
proxy_set_body ;
rewrite .* /recaptcha/api/verify break;
proxy_pass 'http://www.google.com';
}

if ($verify_content ~* ^true[\s\R]*(.*)) {
set $error_code $1;
rewrite .* /set_secure_cookie last;
}

}

location = /set_secure_cookie {
internal;
## SETTING
rewrite ^ /$cookie_ originrequest redirect;
}
