Note: you are not expected to modify request headers
(r->headers_in). Doing so will likely lead to segmentation
faults.

If you want to provide your own cookie for a backend server,
consider using proxy_set_header instead, see
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_set_header.

Structures stored in cmcf->headers_in_hash are ngx_http_header_t,
see ngx_http_headers_in[] array in src/http/ngx_http_request.c.
It is not expected to contain header value. In case of the Cookie
header, it's expected to contain the header name, function to
handle the header during reading request headers from a client,
and an offset of r->headers_in.cookie.

If you want to find out how to read a cookie as got from client,
consider looking at the ngx_http_variable_cookie() function in
src/http/ngx_http_variables.c.
