Description
One of our security requirements is that all cookies coming from our nginx server need to have the "Secure" flag set.
We are using a module, ngx_http_userid_module, that sets a user cookie to track visitors. However, this cookie is not set with the Secure flag and the documentation does not have any information on how to force this module to set that user cookie (uid) as secure.
Documentation:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_userid_module.html
Our configuration for this module in nginx.conf:
userid on;
userid_name uid;
userid_domain none;
userid_path /;
userid_expires 365d;
userid_p3p 'policyref="/w3c/p3p.xml", CP="CUR ADM OUR NOR STA NID"';
We need nginx support to help us determine if there is a way to mark the uid cookie set by this module as "Secure".

The userid_flags directive to provide additional cookie flags is available starting with nginx 1.19.3 (e3e8b8234f05, c0cacad62cc8).
A quick workaround would be to use something like
Such approach allows specifying arbitrary attributes, including "secure" and "httponly".
