You shouldn't do that (I believe even in Apache) because it's an expensive
operation in comparison to just storing the value in local variable.

Because you write your value in one structure, but try to find it in another.

Here you have inserted your value into header list (r->headers_in.headers).

Here you are trying to find your value in the static input headers hash
(clcf->headers_in_hash), that is created in ngx_http_init_headers_in_hash()
on configuration stage.
