Integration with other apps
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to have a custom field to fill with custom HTTP headers when adding a new account for self-hosted apps. These would enable a user to access external apps behind authorization endpoints or other custom auth logic, like the ones for CloudFlare Access and their Service Tokens. This in turn would complement the client certificate field (for mTLS) and add more flexibility to connect to external reader apps securely.
Describe the solution you'd like
Whena adding a new account, a new field should appear in the UI allowing a user to paste one or more raw HTTP Headers, each one separated by a newline.

Research direction
Locate the add-account UI and the code that builds requests for configured accounts. Trace how client certificates and authentication settings are currently stored and applied before deciding where newline-separated headers belong. Done means users can enter headers while adding an account and those headers are applied when connecting to the external reader app.
