Is it possible to modify the headers of an httpPost request made trough the httpPost() function in P5?For example adding a http authorization header?

> **[Authorization](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Authorization)**
>
> The HTTP Authorization request header contains the credentials to authenticate a user agent with a server, usually after the server has responded with a 401 Unauthorized status and the WWW-Authenticate header.

I am not an expert on this, but wouldn’t the authorization be added on the server side? What schema are you referring to?
