GeoHealthCheck allow setting headers on probe request

In my experience it is often needed to set specific headers on a request (eg. WFS GET or POST). I ran into such an issue right now.

It would be nice (necessary?) if the option to add headers to a request would be added to the relevant probes.

Good point. I need this as well. Some Probes e.g. WFS and HTTP have aREQUEST_HEADERS param, but only for content-type. Need to think how to add in a generic fashion. You have suggestions?

Just (no pun intended) add the possibility to add an arbitrary number of arbitrary key-value pairs to send as headers. That should suffice.

@MarcoDuiker was your use case related to Authentication? Then you may try latest master version or via https://demo.geohealthcheck.org, via #9 and #259 per-Resource authentication via Authorization HTTP header has been implemented.

But we keep this issue as there may be other use cases off course.

Nope, not related to authentication. Indeed another use case.

This would indeed be a welcomed feature. We need custom headers like "api-key", as some serviced are authenticated in this fashion.

So a list with key-value pairs as @MarcoDuiker suggested would be the definitive solution.
