Will api gateway forward headers downstream


What are the headers that will be forwarded and what will be modified and dropped


Solution

  • With some exceptions, by default, API Gateway forwards all headers on incoming requests to the downstream services. The most notable exceptions, ignoring whitelisting and other specific features: - Authorization header if the request is authenticated with Security Token Service - Accept header and Content-Type header may be manipulated based on the route configuration and version: https://confluence.inside-box.net/display/ETO/On-boarding+new+APIs#On-boardingnewAPIs-HeaderManipulation
