Integration with other apps

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be nice to have a custom field to fill with custom HTTP headers when adding a new account for self-hosted apps. These would enable a user to access external apps behind authorization endpoints or other custom auth logic, like the ones for CloudFlare Access and their Service Tokens. This in turn would complement the client certificate field (for mTLS) and add more flexibility to connect to external reader apps securely.

Describe the solution you'd like

Whena adding a new account, a new field should appear in the UI allowing a user to paste one or more raw HTTP Headers, each one separated by a newline.

Does the current user agent string ReadYou/${versionName}(${versionCode}) suit your use case?

Not really, my use case would be more for adding arbitrary HTTP headers besides the ones that are already being sent throught the requests. For instance: CF-Access-Client-Secret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX would be one. Also, subsequent requests should save the cookies set through set-cookie sent in the HTTP reponses (something like using a cookie-jar).

So far from what I've been seeing in the codebase is that a network interceptor for OkHttp should do the trick. However I need to research how to add that interceptor with dynamic values (as they'll be inputted through the UI) and modify it on the run.

Im open to suggestions and help though
