Proxy server stripping headers from basic auth REST API requests and add-on API requests

[Jordan C]

I am attempting to troubleshoot an issue where certain marketplace add-ons and Jira REST API with basic auth do not work because headers are being stripped from request respones sent to Jira.

This occurs for all users attempting to use the API and I am wondering if you have any ideas as to what the issue may be.

Our mod_proxy configuration matches the recommendations offered in the Jira support docs.

```

# JIRA Proxy Configuration:

<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>

SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyVia Off
ProxyTimeout 300
RequestHeader unset Authorization
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/ retry=0 connectiontimeout=300 timeout=300
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/\\

```

My assumption is that this is happening because of the `RequestHeader unset Authorization` was added to our httpd.conf. Is there any downside to removing this from my config?

I fixed this by disabling RequestHeader unset Authorization.
