Understanding HTTP Headers

HTTP headers are key components of HTTP requests and responses that carry important information about the browser, server, and data being transferred.

Request Headers

User-Agent: Identifies your browser and operating system to the server.
Accept: Tells the server what types of content your browser can understand.
Accept-Language: Indicates your preferred language(s).
Accept-Encoding: Lists the compression methods your browser supports.
Connection: Controls whether the network connection stays open.

Security Headers

Cookie: Contains stored data from the website.
Authorization: Provides credentials for protected resources.
Origin: Indicates where the request originated from.
X-Forwarded-For: Lists IP addresses of proxies.

Cache Control Headers

Cache-Control: Directives for caching mechanisms.
If-None-Match: Used with ETag for cache validation.
If-Modified-Since: Makes requests conditional based on timestamp.

Content Headers

Content-Type: Indicates the media type of the resource.
Content-Length: The size of the response body in bytes.
Content-Encoding: The encoding used on the data.
