Description
Is it up to browsers to decide what value will be included in the Service-Worker request header when an HTTP request is made to fetch a service worker's script resource?
I've noted that some browsers use script as the value for this header, but I couldn't find this information in the spec.
I'm unsure if administrators should be looking for the Service-Worker: script header specifically to detect the registration of a service worker.

Start by comparing the Service-Worker request-header behavior described in the specification with the browser behavior reported here; done means documenting whether the header value is defined and whether Service-Worker: script is a reliable detection signal.
