# Custom HTTP headers

In some situations, you may want Autify Nexus to send custom HTTP headers when accessing your application under test. This can be helpful in situations like:

- Skipping A/B testing or canary deployments
- Forcing the website to use a specific language (e.g., via the `Accept-Language` header)
- Sending a secret key required for access

## How to set it up

Add a Playwright code step **before** the first “Navigate” step in your scenario, as shown below:

```typescript
await context.setExtraHTTPHeaders({
  "[header name]": "[header value]",
});
```

Replace `[header name]` with the name of your header (e.g., `X-My-App-Setting`). Replace `[header value]` with the value you want to send.

You can include multiple headers by adding more lines inside the `{ … }` block, for example:

```typescript
await context.setExtraHTTPHeaders({
  "X-My-App-Setting": "value1",
  "Accept-Language": "en-US",
});
```
