So nginx is not interpreting folded headers correctly?

HTTP/1.1 header field values can be folded onto multiple lines if the

continuation line begins with a space or horizontal tab. All linear white space, including folding, has the same semantics as SP. A recipient MAY replace any linear white space with a single SP before interpreting the field value or forwarding the message downstream.(quoted from here)

Here's my server side script,which just dumps the cookie content:

var_dump($_COOKIE);exit;

Here comes my test,please pay attention to the cookie part:
