I am trying to rewrite the nginx x-auth-request-email header to a request string using the ingress controller annotation like this:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
set $args user=$http_x_auth_request_email&$args;
Which translates to the same line in nginx.conf.
However, $http_x_auth_request_email somehow resolves to an empty string in the request while I do observe the expected value in the x-auth-request-email header.
Changing $http_x_auth_request_email to a more standard header such as $http_host works as expected.
Is there a way to make this work?
Here is the full config:
