Request Headers

Request Headers

During this phase, headers in the incoming client request can be modified or set. This is crucial for tasks like appending security tokens, adjusting origin-forwarded values, or transforming the client information before it reaches the application.

Example: Before routing a request to a particular service, adding a header to specify the desired version of the API: X-API-Version: v2.
