# Custom Headers
This example aims to demonstrate the deployment of an nginx ingress controller and
use a ConfigMap to configure a custom list of headers to be passed to the upstream
server
This example demonstrates configuration of the nginx ingress controller via
a ConfigMap to pass a custom list of headers to the upstream
server.
[custom-headers.yaml](custom-headers.yaml) defines a ConfigMap in the `ingress-nginx` namespace named `custom-headers`, holding several custom X-prefixed HTTP headers.
```console
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/docs/examples/customization/custom-headers/configmap.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/docs/examples/customization/custom-headers/custom-headers.yaml \
| kubectl apply -f -
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/docs/examples/customization/custom-headers/custom-headers.yaml
```
[configmap.yaml](configmap.yaml) defines a ConfigMap in the `ingress-nginx` namespace named `nginx-configuration`. This controls the [global configuration](../../../user-guide/nginx-configuration/configmap.md) of the ingress controller, and already exists in a standard installation. The key `proxy-set-headers` is set to cite the previously-created `ingress-nginx/custom-headers` ConfigMap.
```console
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/docs/examples/customization/custom-headers/configmap.yaml
```
The nginx ingress controller will read the `ingress-nginx/nginx-configuration` ConfigMap, find the `proxy-set-headers` key, read HTTP headers from the `ingress-nginx/custom-headers` ConfigMap, and include those HTTP headers in all requests flowing from nginx to the backends.
## Test
Check the contents of the configmap is present in the nginx.conf file using:
`kubectl exec nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 -n kube-system cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
Check the contents of the ConfigMaps are present in the nginx.conf file using:
`kubectl exec nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 -n ingress-nginx cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
