# Request

The request that the browser performs can be retrieved from the [Response](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/<K6_VERSION>/javascript-api/k6-experimental/browser/response) when a navigation occurs.

# allHeaders()

{{% admonition type="caution" %}}

This method has a **known issue**. For details, refer to [#965](https://github.com/grafana/xk6-browser/issues/965).

{{% /admonition %}}

An object of key value pairs made up of HTTP headers associated with the request and the ones that the browser adds (such as cookies). All header names are lower-case.

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Promise<Record<string, string>>` | A promise that resolves to an object of key value pairs for each header. |

### Example

{{< code >}}

```javascript
import { browser } from 'k6/experimental/browser';

export const options = {
scenarios: {
ui: {
executor: 'shared-iterations',
options: {
browser: {
type: 'chromium',
},
},
},
},
};

export default async function () {
const page = await browser.newPage();

try {
const res = await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/');
const req = res.request();

const allHeaders = await req.allHeaders();
console.log(`allHeaders: ${JSON.stringify(allHeaders)}`); // allHeaders: {"user-agent":"Mozilla/5.0...}
} finally {
await page.close();
}

# headersArray()

An array with all the request HTTP headers. Unlike [request.allHeaders()](https://grafana.com/docs/k6/<K6_VERSION>/javascript-api/k6-experimental/browser/request/allheaders), header names are not lower-cased. Headers with multiple entries, such as `Set-Cookie`, appear in the array multiple times.
