In working with HTTP requests, I most often use the following headers:

Authorization: for transmitting tokens or authentication data, e.g., Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Content-Type: indicates the content type of the request, e.g., application/json for JSON.
Accept: informs the server about the expected response format, e.g., application/json.
User-Agent: contains information about the client making the request.
Cookie: transmits cookies if a session is used.
Cache-Control: manages caching.

Example of usage in a request:

GET /api/data HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...
Accept: application/json
User-Agent: MyTestClient/1.0

These headers help correctly authenticate the user, determine the data format, and manage the behavior of the request and response.
