I believe better aproach would be to build separate module able to 
calculate required hash and then use proxy_set_header with 
appropriate variable.

Note well: rigth now this should be possible with embedded perl.  
Though I think having embedded perl compiled into nginx just for 
this isn't a good idea, and C implementation whould be safer and 
faster.
