Default headers for cy.request command

Current behavior:

There is no possibility to add default headers for the cy.request command. The only way to add such headers is to overwrite this command

Desired behavior:

The possibility to set default headers (and maybe some other default options) for the cy.request command. For example, we use SessionId header for authenticated requests in our app. And I would like to implement custom login command for my tests, so it would set this header as default for all subsequent requests.

👍 for this. Would like to also have the option to globally set headers for all cy.visit() requests.

As a workaround I overwrite cy.request method with my custom command:

Cypress.Commands.overwrite('request', (originalFn, ...options) => {
  const optionsObject = options[0];

  if (optionsObject === Object(optionsObject)) {
    optionsObject.headers = {
      authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN',
      ...optionsObject.headers,
    };

    return originalFn(optionsObject);
  }

  return originalFn(...options);
});

Please note it only works if you use cy.request with options object.
