Hello,
i want this middleware to protect my /protected route:
here i verify jwt and fetch the user from db, whats the best way now to access/pass the user in a server component /protected/page.tsx or a route handler /protected/route.ts?

import { NextResponse, NextRequest } from "next/server";
export default async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
// validate jwt and fetch user from db else redirect
const user = { name: "user1" };
return NextResponse.next();
}
export const config = {
matcher: '/protected',

When I set a header to pass information from middleware to my route handler, the response from my route handler echoes that header. I cannot figure out how to delete the header from the response. the best I can do is set it to an empty string but I'd rather the end user not know what header names I'm using.
