Answer from AI

Various headers are used in HTTP requests to pass additional information about the request or client. Here are some common examples:

  • Host — specifies the domain name of the server and port to which the request is directed.
  • User-Agent — information about the client application (browser, version, etc.).
  • Accept — content types that the client is willing to accept (e.g., text/html, application/json).
  • Authorization — credentials for authentication (e.g., token or username/password).
  • Content-Type — the media type of the request body (e.g., application/json when sending JSON).
  • Cookie — cookies sent by the client to the server.
  • Referer — URL of the page from which the request was made.

These headers help the server process the request correctly and generate an appropriate response.
