Alter headers
Example of how to add, change, or delete headers sent in a request or returned in a response.
export default {  async fetch(request) {    const response = await fetch("https://example.com");
    // Clone the response so that it's no longer immutable    const newResponse = new Response(response.body, response);
    // Add a custom header with a value    newResponse.headers.append(      "x-workers-hello",      "Hello from Cloudflare Workers",    );
    // Delete headers    newResponse.headers.delete("x-header-to-delete");    newResponse.headers.delete("x-header2-to-delete");
    // Adjust the value for an existing header    newResponse.headers.set("x-header-to-change", "NewValue");
    return newResponse;  },};export default {  async fetch(request): Promise<Response> {    const response = await fetch(request);
    // Clone the response so that it's no longer immutable    const newResponse = new Response(response.body, response);
    // Add a custom header with a value    newResponse.headers.append(      "x-workers-hello",      "Hello from Cloudflare Workers",    );
    // Delete headers    newResponse.headers.delete("x-header-to-delete");    newResponse.headers.delete("x-header2-to-delete");
    // Adjust the value for an existing header    newResponse.headers.set("x-header-to-change", "NewValue");
    return newResponse;  },} satisfies ExportedHandler;from workers import Response, fetch
async def on_fetch(request):    response = await fetch("https://example.com")
    # Grab the response headers so they can be modified    new_headers = response.headers
    # Add a custom header with a value    new_headers["x-workers-hello"] = "Hello from Cloudflare Workers"
    # Delete headers    if "x-header-to-delete" in new_headers:        del new_headers["x-header-to-delete"]    if "x-header2-to-delete" in new_headers:        del new_headers["x-header2-to-delete"]
    # Adjust the value for an existing header    new_headers["x-header-to-change"] = "NewValue"
    return Response(response.body, headers=new_headers)You can also use the custom-headers-example template ↗ to deploy this code to your custom domain.
