Web searches for how to write nginx modules tend to point towards
"Emiller's Guide" or the "Nginx Development Kit".

You may find good background reading there (allowing for any changes
to the nginx internals since they were written) to help you create a
"hello world" module.

After that, you'll have a skeleton into which you can add your specific
pieces, knowing that the basic starting point does work for you.

There, it looks like you wrote something to a "headers_out.headers"
data structure.

And there it looks like you tried to read something from a "types_hash"
data structure. So the "type" variable is probably NULL, and your code
should do something sensible with that value.

Good luck with it,
