2.6 only forwards the response header, not the request header.
Forwarding of the request header has to be explicitly enabled in
cache_peer using the login= option. From what I can tell it's the same
in 3.0.

The response header SHOULD only get forwarded if we may forward the
request header for the same path. No need for yet another config option
for this.
