Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

In Appsmith, when running an API for which a 301 permanent redirect to a different endpoint happens, the Authorization header is automatically retained in the request sent to the redirected API.
We need a way to enable or disable the retention of the authorization header when a redirect happens to a different hostname for APIs. This setting is available in Postman:

Why should this be worked on?

This would enhance the user experience and allow users to have more control over the configuration used when running APIs.

@ame-appsmith this is not valid. In this case the user should simply use the authenticated API option and configure OAuth

[ame-appsmith]

@Nikhil-Nandagopal this option is not available for the Authenticated API either.
In case the request gets redirected, it automatically retains the Authorization header. It is not possible to disable it.
