Lists in forbidden req/resp header glossary entries should be in HTTP section
MDN URL
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_request_header
What specific section or headline is this issue about?
No response
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
The glossary entry has a useful list that is suitable for the HTTP section. We could do with a guide or reference page that describes (lists) these instead of that information living in the glossary.
What did you expect to see?
A new page in HTTP section about forbidden headers:
- https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-request-header
- https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-response-header-name
Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Question is, where to put it? There is a page at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers, but it's really just a list of headers. Perhaps we could have a page like "Headers" or "Overview of HTTP headers" under https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides, that describes and lists the types.
I think we should have a separate guide page on Fetch metadata, and I'm sure we could just delete "General header" and "Entity header", couldn't we?
BTW if we are going to do this we should do it before https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/39901, so we don't have so many links to fix up.
This makes sense. I agree that a new guide under /Web/HTTP/Guides like "Overview of HTTP Headers" could be a good home for this. Are we leaning toward that direction? I would be glad to help create or draft the initial version once the placement is confirmed.
