I don't know either. But it looks like those specific options are either convenenience options or were the first to be added to the API. Later (perhaps) they added the general header option to avoid adding every single possible HTTP header.

I saw no real reason to use the specific header options.

I only noticed while creating my own.

I suggest we use my patch because with it you can also set cookies. This might be of interest in another context.
