how do I set a custom header in a curl config file

Question

How do I add the option for setting a custom header in a curl config file? Neither of the following lines did work:

Header = \'x-abc: xyz\'
header = \'x-abc:         


        

Answer 1

-H:"x-abc: xyz" works fine:

curl -vvv -K headerfile  http://www.google.com -o /dev/null
