Description

HTTP Headers are an essential part of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) used to send information between a web server and a web browser. They provide important information about the type of content being sent, how the browser should display it, and how the server should handle the request. HTTP headers are also used to control access to the website, as well as to provide authentication information. In addition, they are used to store information about the user’s preferences and settings. For example, a user’s language or geographical location can be included in a request header. This enables applications to tailor their responses to the user’s needs. Other headers can be used to control caching, prevent cross-site scripting, and even provide security.
