@rwpino you can workaround by :

1. send plain request with headers
2. get the buffer and mime type
3. and then jimp.read(buffer, mimetype)

we need something line

phin({ url, compression: true, headers: {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.46 Safari/537.36"
} }, (err, res) => {
  if (err === null) {
    cb(null, res, res.body);
  } else {
    cb(err);
  }
});

This will probably require a breaking change thought to feed in the options for phin

@rwpino @syzer v0.5.2 has a new constructor option that allows you to pass the headers. Can you try it out for me?

await Jimp.read({ url: '...', headers: { ... } })
