Answer from AI
In HTTP request headers, there is auxiliary information that helps the server understand how to process the request. This can include:
- Protocol type and version (e.g., HTTP/1.1)
- Client information (User-Agent)
- Content type being sent or expected (Content-Type, Accept)
- Authentication data (Authorization)
- Cookies (Cookie)
- Session and caching information (Cache-Control, If-Modified-Since)
- Preferred language (Accept-Language)
Example headers:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Accept: text/html
Authorization: Bearer token123
