That would be great. Lets discuss its scope here and will try to implement it.

One of my biggest gripes with Postman is how it tries to handle the Cookie header for you (based off of the Set-Cookie response)

It tries to blend its own internal cookie jar with a sometimes explicitly set Cookie header.

I'd say, make the cookie jar functionality an option, therefore allowing the user to "break out" and handle the Cookie header on their own, if needed.

Scope:

UI presents the same UI for "parameters" to manage key value pairs of string (headerName) -> string (header value). Pass them along as request header. Voila. 🎉

Where it gets tricky is.... do you want to support cases where the "key" is not unique? example:

curl -H 'foo: 1' -H 'foo: 2'

I don't know why people would ever do this, but I know for darn sure that TypeScript complains if I try to treat a request header in node.js as a string instead of string | string[].

I'd vote no, don't support that. :)

Just made a pull for this https://github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman/pull/68

Also added orange if that's okay for another color.
