HTTP Request Headers List

For PHP, there is seldom to deal with HTTP request headers directly in the codes, for instance, I seldom use <? php header(’…’); /> to indicate or assign header information for general purpose. Apache http-server packages headers information, so I don’t need to care about it. However, Node.js is different, it itself acts as a web-server, so header customizing and processing is needed. That means more low layers’ processing. Here I list common HTTP request Header for quick retrieving:

• Accept
• Accept-Charset
• Accept-Encoding
• Accept-Language
• Connection
• Cookie
• Host
• Referer
• User-Agent
