I believe that this is due to the way Apache only uses the headers_out 
structure for OK return values.  For all other return values, including 
redirects, it will use the headers_err_out (or similarly named?) 
structure instead.

Cookie.add_cookie() will be modifying headers_out, not headers_err_out. 
  Let me verify what I'm saying...

Uh, err_headers_out.

So, you could use:

     req.err_headers_out.add('Set-Cookie', check)
