Please ask this in a Rails forum - this is Ruby here, not Rails.

If you don't know the answer, it is absurd and ignorant to answer with
a non-answer.

Did you know you can do CGI on ruby? did you know that request headers
are a web server concept and language agnostic?

Besides, ruby on rails IS ruby in the end.

ANSWER:
It depends on the web server you're using, but I will assume you're
using apache, so you use something like this in httpd.conf or
apache.conf:

RequestHeader add X-Your-Variable-Name 'The Value'

For example to use it to pass the logged on user name for a Windows
domain, something like this might work:


<VirtualHost *:82>
ServerName yourwinserver.com
ServerAlias www.yourwinserver.com

RewriteLog logs/myapp_rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 9

<Location />
AuthName "Authenticate to MyApp"
AuthType SSPI
SSPIAuth On
SSPIAuthoritative On
SSPIOmitDomain On
Require valid-user

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} ^false$
RewriteCond %{LA-U:REMOTE_USER} (.*)
RewriteRule . - [E=RU:%1]
RequestHeader add X-Remote-User %{RU}e

</Location>

ProxyPass / http://www.yourwebserver...
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.yourwebserve...
ProxyPreserveHost on

</VirtualHost>

Hope this helps. Have a good day!

No. The OP is almost certainly using Rails - or they would have
said what they are using - and your answer provides no help at all.

Yes. And I could have given five answers, but in the final analysis,
it's more helpful to direct the OP to where they can get help with
the framework they're using.
