Accept-Charset	This is a header which is set with the request and tells the server about which character sets are acceptable by the client.
Content-Type	Indicates the media type (text/html or text/JSON) of the response sent to the client by the server, this will help the client in processing the response body correctly.
Cache-Control	This is the cache policy defined by the server for this response, a cached response can be stored by the client and re-used till the time defined by the Cache-Control header.
