Description
### Feature request
- "x" Feature request
### Description of feature (or steps to reproduce if bug)
Data can be passed to the rest-connector but it seems headers cannot. It would be useful to pass the Authorization header to the rest-connector for multi tenanted systems. Here is a link to what I am trying to do which promoted this request.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the rest-connector currently receives and forwards request data, then review the linked examples for Authorization-header pass-through. Done means the client’s Authorization header reaches the loopback REST request for multi-tenant use, with coverage for the forwarding behavior.
