Yes, mention of "cookie" is useful here, since this is the main cause
of these errors. "Header line or cookie too big". I use "line"
because nginx has another couse of 400 error: large header.
"Header line is too long" is logged when a single line of client header
is bigger than a buffer in large_client_header_buffers.
"Header is too large" is logged when sum of all header lines are bigger
than client_header_buffer_size plus large_client_header_buffers.
Probably this reason should cause 494 error too. And the resulting
message should be as you have suggested: "Request header or cookie too big".
