### What did you do?

according to the documentation of ForwardAuth middleware, the middleware sets also the "Request URI | X-Forwarded-Uri" header in the request forwarded to the Auth server, among others: [Redirecting...](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/forwardauth/)

### What did you see instead?

however i can only see:

`x-forwarded-for': , 'x-forwarded-host': 'x-forwarded-port': ' 'x-forwarded-proto': 'x-forwarded-server', 'x-real-ip': ',`

being forwarded, and the auth service needs to access the request url, so how to access X-Forwarded-Uri ?

i have tried also to set trustForwardHeader: true , but no success

### What version of Traefik are you using?

2.8

Why would you open a request for an old Traefik version? Please use latest Traefik and try again.

i see, so you suggest me to update to make sure that the problem might have been fixed in 2.9.6 ? i will check if there is any breaking change and then upgrade
