method OutgoingMessage.prototype.getHeaders

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { OutgoingMessage } from "node:node__http.d.ts"; ```
OutgoingMessage.prototype.getHeaders(): OutgoingHttpHeaders
Returns a shallow copy of the current outgoing headers. Since a shallow copy is used, array values may be mutated without additional calls to various header-related HTTP module methods. The keys of the returned object are the header names and the values are the respective header values. All header names are lowercase. The object returned by the `outgoingMessage.getHeaders()` method does not prototypically inherit from the JavaScript `Object`. This means that typical `Object` methods such as `obj.toString()`, `obj.hasOwnProperty()`, and others are not defined and will not work. ```js outgoingMessage.setHeader('Foo', 'bar'); outgoingMessage.setHeader('Set-Cookie', ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz']); const headers = outgoingMessage.getHeaders(); // headers === { foo: 'bar', 'set-cookie': ['foo=bar', 'bar=baz'] } ```
