Examples

Printing the contents of Headers object

The following code logs a line for each key/value in the myHeaders object.

// Create a new test Headers object
const myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");
myHeaders.append("Cookie", "This is a demo cookie");
myHeaders.append("compression", "gzip");

// Display the key/value pairs
myHeaders.forEach((value, key) => {
  console.log(`${key} ==> ${value}`);
});

The result is:

compression ==> gzip
content-type ==> application/json
cookie ==> This is a demo cookie
