Thread THTMLForm submit, with headers

I need to add a header to a THTMLForm Submit. Anyone know how I can to
this? For a TRequest, I can add a header easily. Not being able to do
this will make for a rather insecure reporting function on my system...

Looks like there is no way in the browser to do this - let me know if
I'm wrong! I shall add hidden fields to do it...

Are you using the header for credentials/authentication ?  If so, then you should consider using an https URL with parameters for the credentials.  That's what the database/dataset handling offers as an option, and it does work.

I am, but the https is not guaranteed, due to the complexities of
certificates. For ease of use the system starts on http and warns the
user, and the admin interface will allow self-signed, Let's Encrypt, or
purchased certificate. But none of the options are simple...
