Header is not passed to proxy

Server NGINX
1

Hi Maxim, thanks a lot for your moduel. it was extremely useful for me.

I have the following config:
location /upload {
auth_request /auth;
…
location /auth {
proxy_pass ;
}

The initial request to /upload has header. I have supposed this header
to be
propogated down to . But this does not happen.

Question: does it mean that i have to use $request_uri instead of header
propogation?

Thanks a lot!

The header value should be in quotes:
“$x_your_header”

I don’t really understand the question, but original request
headers are passed to auth service by default. If it doesn’t work
for you - probably you did something wrong.
