Headers are information the transportation layer needs to know about, not your application.
Headers contain 'meta' information about the call itself:
Headers can be the standard ones or you can make your own custom ones.
GET authors ⇠ Authors::index()
POST authors ⇠ Authors::post()
DELETE authors/{id} ⇠ Authors::delete()
GET authors/{id} ⇠ Authors::get()
PUT authors/{id} ⇠ Authors::put()
