X-some-signal-to-tell-aws-that-its-okay-to-use-this-file: true "Why would anyone need this" was also the typical dismissive response I got when looking around

  It's definitely a legitimate question - not everybody knows that AWS needs some silly header, nor why. OpenBSD people will be the first to call out unnecessary/outlandish requests unless you can back it up with a good reason outright. I appreciate the fact that httpd doesn't attempt to be the end-all server for everybody - its primarily a lightweight way to run things like the BGPd looking glass, other tools, a simple website, or something via fastcgi. The term they use often when denying pull requests is 'Featuritis', which Apache & Nginx suffer from.

    what would you recommend for someone needing to add headers?

      I had the same issue (wanted to add a Content-Security-Policy header to a site hosted on OpenBSD httpd) and switched to https://www.lighttpd.net/ https://www.lighttpd.net/

      If you're using httpd you'd probably pair it with relayd. With relayd you can add custom headers, as this random example shows: https://github.com/reyk/httpd/wiki/Using-relayd-to-add-Cache-Control-headers-to-httpd-traffic https://github.com/reyk/httpd/wiki/Using-relayd-to-add-Cache... However that's probably not great still, because it's a global solution to a per-file problem.
