Seand headers with vlc.stream?

[ParadoxImmobilizer]

I am writing an extension using Lua that interacts with an API that requires HTTP headers for authentication. I have been using vlc.stream(url) for my HTTP requests, but I don't see any way to attach headers using this function. Is there a way to attach headers to vlc.stream, or is there another Lua module in VLC for making these kind of requests?
