65-121: Consider enhancing header management architectureWhile the centralization of header management is a good step, consider these architectural improvements:
- Create a dedicated header management component that can:
- Implement different header merging strategies
- Enforce security policies
- Provide audit logging
- Add configuration options for header handling behavior
- Consider implementing header policies through middleware
This would make the header management more flexible and secure while maintaining the current simplicity.

98-98: LGTM!The placement of header addition after User-Agent setup and before request execution is correct.
65-65: Consider header merging strategyThe current implementation overwrites any existing headers in the base request. Consider if certain headers from the original request should be preserved or merged instead of being overwritten.
Let's verify the impact on security-critical headers:
| func (request *Request) addHeadersToRequest(baseRequest *retryablehttp.Request) { | ||
| for k, v := range request.Headers { | ||
| baseRequest.Header.Set(k, v) | ||
| } | ||
| } |

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Add header validation and security controls
The current implementation could benefit from additional security controls:
- Validate header names and values to prevent header injection
- Consider protecting security-critical headers (e.g., Authorization, Cookie)
- Add logging for security-sensitive header modifications
Here's a suggested implementation:
func (request *Request) addHeadersToRequest(baseRequest *retryablehttp.Request) {
+ // List of headers that require special handling
+ sensitiveHeaders := map[string]bool{
+ "Authorization": true,
+ "Cookie": true,
+ "Origin": true,
+ }
+
for k, v := range request.Headers {
+ // Basic validation
+ if k == "" || strings.Contains(k, "\n") || strings.Contains(v, "\n") {
+ continue
+ }
+
+ // Log modifications to sensitive headers
+ if sensitiveHeaders[k] {
+ gologger.Debug().Msgf("Modifying sensitive header: %s", k)
+ }
+
baseRequest.Header.Set(k, v)
}
