Methods
=======
All methods provided by this module are static (or module-level). That is, you
do not need an object (or instance) to call these methods.
[Back to TOC](#table-of-contents)
add_header
----------
**syntax:** *ngx_req.add_header(header_name, header_value)*
**context:** *set_by_lua*, rewrite_by_lua*, access_by_lua*, content_by_lua*, header_filter_by_lua*, body_filter_by_lua**
This method adds the specified header and its value to the current
request. It works similarly as
[ngx.req.set_header](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#ngxreqset_header),
with the exception that when the header already exists, the specified value(s)
will be appended instead of overriden.
The first argument `header_name` must be a non-empty string.
When the specified `header_name` is a builtin header (e.g. `User-Agent`), this
method will override its values.
The `header_value` argument can either be a string or a non-empty, array-like
table. A `nil` or empty table value will cause this function to throw an error.
This feature was first introduced in the `v0.1.18` release.
