webpack devServer proxy doesn't catch my request

Question

I have a UI app on http://localhost:8050/ and api server on http://foo.local.bar.com. I logged in to the server directly, but I need the UI to send to cookie to the server too when I fetch GET method http://foo.local.bar.com/myapi/api/goo/maa . In my config json I added devServer with proxy but it doesn't seem to work :

 devServer: {
    proxy: {
      '/api/*': {
        "target": "http://foo.local.bar.com",
        logLevel: 'debug',
        secure: false,
        changeOrigin: true,
        withCredentials: true,
        cookieDomainRewrite: "localhost",
        onProxyReq: proxyReq => {
          console.log("onProxyReq 1 !!!!!!!!") // I don't can't see any console log, so I also think the proxy doesn't "catch" my request...
          proxyReq.setHeader("Cookie", ".MYCOOKIE=123445"); 
          console.log("onProxyReq 2 !!!!!!!!", proxyReq)
        }
      }
    }
  },

But I still get "Authorization has been denied for this request." 401 error.

Any ideas? I tried, like, everything...
