setHeader

fun setHeader(name: String, value: String)(source)

Adds an extra HTTP header. The header name will be issued as-is without lowercasing. It can be called only before first write. Calling this method after the first write will throw an error. If the passed value is not a string, its toString() method will be called to obtain the final value.

Certain headers are restricted from being set by apps. These headers are listed below. More information on restricted headers can be found in Chromium's header utils.

  • Content-Length

  • Host

  • Trailer or Te

  • Upgrade

  • Cookie2

  • Keep-Alive

  • Transfer-Encoding

Additionally, setting the Connection header to the value upgrade is also disallowed.
