### Forwarding Context & Headers
By default, neither the headers from the incoming request nor the request context are forwarded when
making fetch requests in server routes. You can use `event.$fetch` to forward the request context and headers when making fetch requests in server routes.
```ts [server/api/forward.ts]
export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
return event.$fetch('/api/forwarded')
})
```
::note
Headers that are **not meant to be forwarded** will **not be included** in the request. These headers include, for example:
`transfer-encoding`, `connection`, `keep-alive`, `upgrade`, `expect`, `host`, `accept`

You can use `useRequestFetch` to forward the request context and headers when making server-side fetch requests.
When making a client-side fetch request, the browser automatically sends the necessary headers.
However, when making a request during server-side rendering, because the request is made on the server, we need to forward the headers manually.
::note
Headers that are **not meant to be forwarded** will **not be included** in the request. These headers include, for example:
`transfer-encoding`, `connection`, `keep-alive`, `upgrade`, `expect`, `host`, `accept`

::tip
The [`useFetch`](/docs/api/composables/use-fetch) composable uses `useRequestFetch` under the hood to automatically forward the request context and headers.
::
::code-group
```vue [pages/index.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
// This will forward the user's headers to the `/api/foo` event handler
// Result: { cookies: { foo: 'bar' } }
const requestFetch = useRequestFetch()
const { data: forwarded } = await useAsyncData(() => requestFetch('/api/cookies'))
// This will NOT forward anything
// Result: { cookies: {} }
const { data: notForwarded } = await useAsyncData(() => $fetch('/api/cookies'))
</script>
```
```ts [server/api/cookies.ts]
export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
const cookies = parseCookies(event)
return { cookies }
})
```
::
::tip
In the browser during client-side navigation, `useRequestFetch` will behave just like regular [`$fetch`](/docs/api/utils/dollarfetch).
