add headers to requests

[inverted-capital]

Tigris has updated their consistency model and to get strongly consistent reads I need to pass in a header

Are the headers different for every request, or always the same? I'm wondering if we should just allow specifying some extraHeaders when initializing the client, and then have it use those for every request. Or does it need to be specified per request? Or do some requests not want these extra headers?

Good point... they are different in SOME cases. The header in question is the one that determines strong consistency or weak. I do want the ability to do a weak consistency GET but other times I want a strong GET or a strong PUT.

Extra headers sounds helpful, so in my case I would make two client instances, one with strong consistency headers, and the other being weak consistency by the absence of the strong headers. That seems simpler than fiddling around with state management in the requests ?

Yeah, that would make sense to me. But I'm open to including per-request headers [as well] if there are use cases for it.
