AWSApplication load balancer - custom headers

Question

I have question regarding AWS ALB. Does anybody knows if it is possible to modify (specifically ADD) custom headers to requests? Something like proxy_set_header in nginx http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_set_header

Did you find anything helpful about how to add custom headers to requests coming from ALB? Thanks. — Iman Shafiei, May 03 '23 at 18:15

ALB and ELB set some standard headers: X-Forwarded-For:, X-Forwarded-Proto: and X-Forwarded-Port: (see here).

I don't think you can set your own headers. What do you need it for?
