  Pairs of headers.

  • A Pair is of the format: name: value.
    • If name is empty, the header is omitted.
    • If value is empty, the header with the name name is removed if it exists, or the header is omitted.
    • If a header with the name name exists, the header is modified. If there're more than one existing, the first is modified.
    • If no header with the name name exists, a new header is added.
  • Examples:

    This overrides the default Accept header
    Accept: *
    

    This removes Referer header if it exists
    Referer:
    

    This adds new headers to the request
    Test-0: On
    Test-1: Off
    

• Type Restricted JavaScript:
  Returns request or response headers.
  • The code must return an array of objects, each objects has two properties: 'name' and 'value'.
  • Depending on Header type, the code will be passed an argument requestHeaders or responseHeaders, which is the list of the existing headers.
  • Examples:

    // Header type: Request headers
    const acceptHeader = requestHeaders.find(({name}) => (
        name.toLowerCase() === 'accept'
    ));
    // Accept: *
    acceptHeader && acceptHeader.value = '*';
    return requestHeaders; 

    // Header type: Request headers
    const refererHeaderIndex = requestHeaders.findIndex(({name}) => (
        name.toLowerCase() === 'referer'
    ));
    // Remove Referer header
    if (refererHeaderIndex !== -1) {
        requestHeaders.splice(refererHeaderIndex, 1);
    }
    return requestHeaders;

    // Header type: Response headers
    responseHeaders.push({
        name: 'Set-Cookie',
