edge micro and headers & cookies: how do i make sure that headers are passed through...

Not applicable

So i have a possibly very good opportunity to use edge micro to extend api management capabilities in our organization. I need to understand more about how edge micro handles http headers - specifically i need to understand if it allows me to cleanly pass-through headers w/o a lot of customization.

"will edge-micro allow pass-through for our existing headers and authentication cookies?" came up as a question in an architectural meeting and I am not actually sure...

Or are you referring to the various x-forwarded-* headers described at http://docs.apigee.com/microgateway/latest/edge-microgateway-operations#edgemicrogatewayconfigurati...
