This header is not necessary and is ignored by essentially all HTTP servers when provided explicitly by the user. This is because the HTTP transport layer handles adding this header automatically as needed.
Some variations of HTTP transport (like HTTP/2, which is enabled by default in Deno, Netlify, and CFW) have no notion of
