I'm trying to set my Authorization header based on a value from a feeder. It looks like the authorization header is being stripped/overwritten, when other headers are being successfully set. 

    exec(http("Initialise Transaction")
    .put("/transaction")
    .header("Authorization","bearer ${token}")
    .header("X-Hello","bearer ${token}")

The request is being made, and the server sees the "X-Hello" header, but not the "Authorization" header set to the exact same value.

Documentation suggests I can set the Authorization header as part of the http protocol (I'm not doing that) - but I need it based on the request as I need the value to come from the session. Is there a way to prevent it being stripped?

(This is using Gatling 3.0)

I found what I was doing wrong - I'd mistakenly set my url to be http://hostname/path - my server was set to redirect to https://hostname/path, but the Authorization header wasn't being sent after the redirect, although the remaining headers were. (This isn't a bug - it's deliberate behaviour.)

I hope that helps someone!
