What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Forbidden request header

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

This is a response header. This pattern is repeated in the section due to search/replace.

For example:

    <tr>
      <th scope="row">Header type</th>
      <td>{{Glossary("Response header")}}</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">{{Glossary("Forbidden request header")}}</th>
      <td>No</td>
    </tr>

What did you expect to see?

Suggestion from @wbamberg to do the following:

  • for request headers, list whether it is a forbidden request header or a CORS-safelisted request header
  • for response headers, list whether it is a forbidden response header or a CORS-safelisted response header
  • for headers that may be either, list all four

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
