RequestHeader not getting set on RewriteRule in htaccess

The following RewriteRule in my htaccess file isn't getting the request header set.

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)&someUser=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)SDM$ http://some.domain.com/SDM/Publish.aspx [E=SOME:%2,R,L]
RequestHeader set Some-User: "%{SOME}e"

I don't think the SOME environment variable has anything to do with it because I tried a generic header value as well and it wasn't set either. I did make sure that mod-headers is installed. I am looking for the header in my chrome developer tools. Is it possible that it won't show up there?

Env variables won't be set while doing external redirect, you must do internal rewrite for setting env variables like this:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)someUser=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)SDM$ /SDM/Publish.aspx [E=SOME:%2,L]

RequestHeader set Some-User "%{SOME}e"
