I am wondering whether it is possible to do the following trick:

Senario: Frontend nginx server is accepting requests for site A (domain1.com) and will reverse proxy to internal site B (domain2.com). There are cookies set for site A and they are not directly available to the backend site B (different domain).

So, my question is : would it be possible for nginx to forward the cookies, that are set for domain1.com, to domain2.com.

Browsers see you site as domain1.com, so they will send domain1.com cookies. nginx passes all headers inlcuding "cookie" to a backend.
