+### Pass Client Headers to the API
+
+During server-side-rendering, since the `$fetch` request takes place 'internally' within the server, it won't include the user's browser cookies.
+
+We can use [`useRequestHeaders`](/docs/api/composables/use-request-headers) to access and proxy cookies to the API from server-side.
+
+The example below adds the request headers to an isomorphic `$fetch` call to ensure that the API endpoint has access to the same `cookie` header originally sent by the user.
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+const headers = useRequestHeaders(['cookie'])
+
+async function getCurrentUser() {
+  return await $fetch('/api/me', { headers: headers.value })
+}
+</script>
+```
+
+::caution
+Be very careful before proxying headers to an external API and just include headers that you need. Not all headers are safe to be bypassed and might introduce unwanted behavior. Here is a list of common headers that are NOT to be proxied:
+
+- `host`, `accept`
+- `content-length`, `content-md5`, `content-type`
+- `x-forwarded-host`, `x-forwarded-port`, `x-forwarded-proto`
