Sure, if you wanted to deal with configuring Apache. Or getting your hosting provider to do that. If you knew to ask, and didn't mind waiting, and your hosting provider knew how...

Not sure what you are on about. Adding an HTTP header to a request is one of the easiest things to do.

    I think you are the one who doesn't know what they are on about.

    First, the header must be added to the response, not the request.

    Second, in many environments (managed hosting etc.) there is not an easy way (or indeed a way at all) of adding headers to responses.

      It's getting better. Most serverless hosts (including Cloudflare, which this site uses) follow the (req: Request) => Response pattern, which by definition allows sending headers.

      What are you talking about. Any non-static hosting will let you specify headers with a plain php function. Any baseline shared hosting offers that kind of control and has done so for the past 20+ years.
