Access-Control-Request-Headers header
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The HTTP 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 fetch() or XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader()). The complementary server-side header of Access-Control-Allow-Headers will answer this browser-side header.
| Header type | Request header |
