Access-Control-Request-Headers

The Access-Control-Request-Headers request header is used by browsers when issuing a preflight request to let the server know which HTTP headers the client might send when the actual request is made (such as with setRequestHeader()). The complementary server-side header of Access-Control-Allow-Headers will answer this browser-side header.

Header type Request header
Forbidden header name yes

Syntax

Directives
