This answer taught me that you can set headers for an entire session   s   requests Session   s auth     user    pass   s headers update   x-test    true       both  x-test  and  x-test2  are sent s get  http   httpbin org headers   headers   x-test2    true      Bonus  Sessions also handle cookies
