I'm strugglin' here..

I've come across this github convo: https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/issues/932#issuecomment-2064965734

I'm trying to do something similar, but the middleware method given doesn't effect the request being sent tthrough to the proxied API, it doesn't even seem to effect the response (sigh).

I'm trying to read a cookie from the incoming request to Next, then, BEFORE the request is proxied to an external API, I need to add an Authorization: Bearer XXXX header. But no matter how I approach this, it seems like this hook just doesn't exist anymore in >= Next 13?? Is this true??

PLEASE HELP!
