Headers class

The Headers interface of the Fetch API allows you to perform various actions on HTTP request and response headers. These actions include retrieving, setting, adding to, and removing headers from the list of the request's headers.

A Headers object has an associated header list, which is initially empty and consists of zero or more name and value pairs. You can add to this using methods like append(). In all methods of this interface, header names are matched by case-insensitive byte sequence.

For security reasons, some headers can only be controlled by the user agent. These headers include the forbidden header names and forbidden response header names.

A Headers object also has an associated guard, which takes a value of immutable, request, request-no-cors, response, or none. This affects whether the set(), delete(), and append() methods will mutate the header.

You can retrieve a Headers object via the Request.headers and ResponseInstanceMembers.headers properties, and create a new Headers object using the Headers() constructor.
