After running into this problem, I worked up a minimal example based on this documentation:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link href="https://vjs.zencdn.net/7.4.1/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- ^^ video.js stylesheet ^^ -->
<title>Video.JS test</title>
</head>
<body>
<video autoplay controls id="player"
poster="http://localhost:21212/img/tzGk0I0eb-4"
class="video-js">
<source src="http://localhost:21212/vid/tzGk0I0eb-4">
</video>
<script src="https://vjs.zencdn.net/7.4.1/video.js"></script>
<!-- ^^ video.js script ^^ -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var headers = videojs.Hls.xhr.headers || {}
headers['X-Arbitrary'] = 'some-arbitrary-header-text'
videojs.Hls.xhr.headers = headers
var player = videojs('player')
</script>
</body>
</html>
I also tried it with this JS (I forget where I saw this):
videojs.Hls.xhr.beforeRequest = options => {
console.log(options)
var headers = options.headers || {}
headers['X-Arbitrary'] = 'some-arbitrary-header-text'
options.headers = headers
return options
}
var player = videojs('player')
As well as this (documented here ):
videojs.xhr({
headers: {
'X-Arbitrary': 'some-arbitrary-text'
}
})
var player = videojs('player')
And this ( from here )
videojs.Hls.xhr.beforeSend = request => {
requst.setRequestHeader('X-Arbitrary', 'some-arbitrary-text')
}
var player = videojs('player')
I have a mock server which outputs the request information:

All of the examples output similar log entries, without the requested header.
