Frequently asked questions
What are HTTP headers?
▾
Key-value pairs sent at the start of every HTTP request and response. They convey metadata: content type, encoding, caching rules, auth tokens, CORS policy, and more.
What is the Content-Type header used for?
▾
It tells the receiver how to interpret the body. Common values: application/json for JSON APIs, text/html for web pages, multipart/form-data for file uploads.
What does the Authorization header contain?
▾
The client's credentials. The most common format is Bearer <token> for JWTs and OAuth tokens, or Basic <base64(user:password)> for HTTP Basic auth.
