  has(name: string): boolean
  get(name: string): string | null
  keys(): string[]
  getAll(name: string): string[] | null
  append(name: string, value: string | string[]): HttpHeaders
  set(name: string, value: string | string[]): HttpHeaders
  delete(name: string, value?: string | string[]): HttpHeaders
}
