What are HTTP Headers?

HTTP headers allow the client and the server to pass additional information with an HTTP request or response. An HTTP header consists of its case-insensitive name followed by a colon (:), then by its value.

Important Headers to Check

  • Cache-Control: Specifies directives for caching mechanisms in both requests and responses.
  • Content-Type: Indicates the media type of the resource.
  • Strict-Transport-Security: Enforces secure (HTTP over SSL/TLS) connections to the server.
  • Content-Security-Policy: Helps prevent XSS and data injection attacks.
