I added this to the http section:

map $http_x_capdata_auth $not_auth {
default 1;
"authorized" 0;
}

and this to the location section:

if ($not_auth) {
return 401;
}

and it's always returning a 401, even if there is a header:

X-Capdata-Auth: authorized

And I doing something wrong here? How can I debug this?
