Want to customize the HTTP responses sent from your Knowledge Base? HelpDocs allows you to set your own HTTP Headers so you can send extra information with each HTTP response to set up things like:

• HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)
• iframe settings
• Caching behaviour
• Language settings
• Verifying Google domain ownership
