CLI option to pass custom headers

[t-kulmburg]

Hi,

we are currently still using the deprecated mozilla/http-observatory. We execute it using a custom docker file where it is installed.

I was now checking how to migrate it, but saw that the new mdn-http-observatory-scan command supports no custom options at all, compared to the old httpobs-local-scan which e.g. had the --headers option.
In our case this is important as we need to pass basic auth headers to access some pages.

Is there currently some way to achieve this or did this feature get lost with the migration to the node/js implementation?

Also the migration guide mentions nothing for local execution, only the api changes.

I'd also support the need for allowing custom request headers. Our systems use Web Bot Auth to provide cryptographic proof that a request has come from us, being able to add the relevant headers to the http observatory would be invaluable to us!

Given that this has been marked as a P1 - what does that imply in terms of implementation timescales?
