# Headers Tab - HTTP Connections

Enter the details for each **Header** to be included.

You are not able to tab between the columns - you must use the cursor to move across.

Values for any **Headers** specified here may include tag references, which will be resolved at the time that they are applied.

If the processed value of a **Header** is empty, and that **Header**  is identified as being *optional*, then that **Header** will not be included.

::: warning
**HTTP Connection** **Headers**  (and parameters) are applied first, followed by any **Headers** (or parameters) specified in script on the **HTTP** object directly.

Scripted header/parameter values therefore override and overwrite any values specified on the **HTTP Connection** object.
