how to set the proxy buffer if web server return large cookie via Set-Cookie

[Delta Yeh]

So to resolve large cookie issue, the config should be:

    location / {
     large_client_header_buffers  4 32k;
     proxy_buffer_size  32k;
    proxy_pass ....
 }

For  response, default proxy_buffers should be OK for most web application.
