Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Incorrect HTTP header

Reports unknown HTTP headers that do not match any publicly known headers. The quick fix suggests adding the header to the list of custom headers when the Use custom HTTP headers option is enabled. HTTP headers from the list of custom headers will not trigger the inspection.
