This is as a substitute for webRequest.onHeadersReceived with webRequestBlocking. As a real-life example of where this would be useful, https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle used to have code which caused SWF files loaded directly in the browser to be able to be opened with an internal extension page automagically with a redirect rule, but which does not work with Manifest V3. We tried replacing it with a regex filter for
regexFilter: "^.*\\.s(?:wf|pl)(\\?.*|#.*|)$", but without also being able to check the Content-Type header that did not work properly since some SWF files are at URLs not ending in .swf (or .spl) and some URLs ending in .swf (or .spl) are not actually SWF files.My suggestion would be a RuleCondition, headers, which is an object with keys matching the request header's keys and values of regular expressions for the corresponding values
