What did you do; what did you see; what did you expect to see?

I don't understand what it is that you are trying to do, that you have
not yet done.

You seem to say that you do see the Authorization header and that you
don't see the Authorization header, so I presume I'm misreading something.

Can you provide a simple nginx configuration that I can use to replicate
whatever the problem is?
