Description

Does the capacity to set properties of the HTTP header for things like the manifest request currently exist in the development branch for Flashls? I wasn't able to find anything referencing it in the documentation, and didn't see anything allowing configuration while rooting around in the source. We'd like to take advantage of something like this: https://community.akamai.com/community/web-performance/blog/2015/03/31/using-akamai-pragma-headers-to-investigate-or-troubleshoot-akamai-content-delivery
for debugging purposes (checking IPs, cache status, etc).

Would it be possible, if it doesn't exist already, to add the ability to configure the headers of HTTP requests Flashls sends and extract information from the responses?
