Are you trying to modify them in the test system? If so, you can add headers via the test.client.Client class. That simulates setting them on the client side. If you're trying to modify them some other way, then the answer is "don't do that". Request objects are read-only, not modifiable. Your final question, above, doesn't make a lot of sense. Headers are part of the HTTP data. They are just lines of text at the start of the request. Apache (or other web server) parses those lines and passes them, via some data structure or other, to consumers such as Django. Django then uses that data structure (it's different for, say, mod_python and WSGI interfaces) to create the request.META dictionary.
