Redirect nginx to another domain with authorization header

Question

I need to redirect request from nginx to another domain, below is a working solution for redirect request but it doesn't redirect Authorization header from original request, is it possible to redirect to another domain with all request headers from original request?

location /test {
    return 301 https://test.com$request_uri;
}

Answer 1

Instead of using the return directive, which will issue a redirect to the client browser you can use the proxy_pass directive instead which will proxy the original client request to the remote server with the request headers intact.
