Custom headers not sent when transcoding

Issue description:

Minor bug:
I have a Subsonic (clone) instance running behind a reverse proxy which is restricted to specific IP addresses, unless a specific header is set with a specific value (set in Symfonium under my provider as a custom header).

I can browse my music, but when I set under “Playback → Decoding and transcoding → Mobile maximum bitrate” to something other than “Original”, my playback stops working. I saw that I’m getting a bunch of 403s from my phone, and set an exception to allow
/subsonic/rest/stream.view
from all IP addresses, which resolved my issue.

I can only guess that the custom header is not sent at this point, otherwise my reverse proxy would accept the call.

There is absolutely no difference in Symfonium when playing transcoded or not content it use the exact same internal way that will set the exact same set of headers.

It’s just the url that have a bunch of new parameters.

Check your proxy logs to actually confirm what is happening.

You are correct. I verified that the header is being sent. Will need to investigate further.
