The easiest way is to manipulate the custom properties of libURL (the headers): get 
the list
of them, choose which one you want to change and set it to whatever you want.
A replacement to the old httpHeaders I sugested is to have the library use a totally 
new
custom header as opposed to adding to an existing one, similar to what you propose
bellow.
