so you just wanna forward a cookie? i'm not a cookie expert
(and how, look at my recent desperate posts) but i'd say
you can send whatever cookie you want, for whatever nefarious
purposes you'd like.
$req->header('Cookie' => $r->header_in('Cookie'));
$req->header('Cookie' => &my_new_cookie_monster( $something ));
as far as 'what happens with the original cookies' they stay with
the user's browser, until they expire (if an expire date was
given) or end-of-session (when browser is quit, if no expire was
given).
i think the answer to your question is, you can chain several
cookie headers on via the same ->header('Cookie' => ...) call.
