How to Set Headers and process them in AppWrite Functions
Hi, I want to set a custom header and read that in appwrite function. Currently i tried setting a header in postman but in the appwrite function req.headers returns {}
TL;DR
The user wants to know how to set custom headers and read them in an AppWrite function. Another user mentions that currently, it is not possible to set headers directly with functions, and all data should be passed as part of the 'data' parameter. The user confirms that when they tried setting a header in Postman, the req.headers object in the AppWrite function returned {}. No solution is provided in the thread. 
you can't do that with functions at the moment. all data passed in should be passed as part of the data parameter: https://appwrite.io/docs/client/functions?sdk=web-default#functionsCreateExecution
So req.headers doesn't have any purpose?
