Download file request chrome extension with headers

Question

I'm developing google chrome extension, I want to send headers in the request like:

chrome.downloads.download({
    url: 'http://test/api/file/download',
    filename: "file_from_web_api.exe",
    headers: {
        ProfileID: "1"
    }
});

But I'm getting error:

Uncaught TypeError: Error in invocation of downloads.download(downloads.DownloadOptions options, optional function callback): Error at parameter 'options': Error at property 'headers': Invalid type: expected array, found object.

My question is how to append headres to download request

Answer 1

As per the docs headers need to be a Array of objects

chrome.downloads.download({
    url: 'http://test/api/file/download',
    filename: "file_from_web_api.exe",
    headers: [
        {'ProfileID': '1'}
    ]
});

you can also try to create a header object first and then add it to the array look here

EDIT: try with header object

chrome.downloads.download({
    url: 'http://test/api/file/download',
    filename: "file_from_web_api.exe",
    headers: new Headers({
        'ProfileID': '1'
    })
});
