See [Headers Object][].

*Note*: In HTTP/2, the request path, host name, protocol, and method are
represented as special headers prefixed with the `:` character (e.g. `':path'`).
These special headers will be included in the `request.headers` object. Care
must be taken not to inadvertently modify these special headers or errors may
occur. For instance, removing all headers from the request will cause errors
to occur:

```js
removeAllHeaders(request.headers);
