401 UnauthorizedYour request with an Authorization header is redirected to another origin.
The final response is 401 or 403 although the token is correct.
The Fetch standard removes the Authorization header as soon as a redirect leads to another origin.
Handle redirects yourself: read the Location header, decide whether the target is trusted, and send the credential again explicitly.
curl -s -D - -o /dev/null "$URL" | grep -i '^location'
Read the Location header of the redirect, then repeat the request to that URL yourself with the credential if you trust the host.
