Questions for X-Accel-Redirect

[Steven Hartland]

If you want to just pass the header through and not process it you can 
use proxy_pass_header.

We do just this to pass X-Accel-Redirect though from server1 -> server2 
where its then processed.
e.g.
proxy_pass_header X-Accel-Redirect

Hope this helps.
