Modify, add, remove, or pass along specific request headers going upstream towards the origin.

Depending on the type of action you want to perform, specify the corresponding standard header name, or a custom_header_name if the standard name is set to OTHER. The header_value serves as a match condition when the action is DELETE or MODIFY, and the new_header_value applies when the action is ADD or MODIFY. Whole-text replacements apply when the action is MODIFY, and substitutions apply when set to REGEX.
