[OWASP](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/List_of_useful_HTTP_headers) lists the most common security related headers:
- X-Frame-Options
- X-Content-Type-Options
- X-XSS-Protection
- Content-Security-Policy
- Public-Key-Pins
- Strict-Transport-Security
Do you plan to add them, or is it out of scope?
If I would to make a pull request, is this the right place to start:
- `akka.http.scaladsl.model.headers`
- `akka.http.javadsl.model.headers`
- `akka.http.impl.model.parser`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading akka.http.scaladsl.model.headers and akka.http.javadsl.model.headers, then inspect akka.http.impl.model.parser to understand how the listed HTTP headers are represented and parsed. Done means the requested OWASP security headers have a defined, usable path through the relevant HTTP model APIs and parser, with the scope of supported headers resolved.
