headers Object or Array or Function

Headers can be provided as an Object, in which the keys are used as header names and the values are used as header values.

  {
    type: Types.S3File,
    headers: {
      'x-amz-meta-Cache-Control' : 'max-age=' + (60 * 15),
      'x-amz-meta-X-Custom-Header' : 'Object Option'
    }
  }

When the option is provided as an Array of headers, each header element in the array should be an Object with name and value String properties.

  {
  	type: Types.S3File,
  	headers: [
  		{ name: 'x-amz-meta-Cache-Control', value: 'max-age=' + (60 * 15) },
  		{ name: 'x-amz-meta-X-Custom-Header', value: 'Array Option' }
  	]
  }

When the option is provided as a Function, the function will be called with arguments for the current model and client file; The function should return either an Array of valid header objects or a simple Object.

  {
    type: Types.S3File,
    headers: function (item, file) {
      var headers = [];
      headers.push({ name: 'x-amz-meta-Cache-Control', value: 'max-age=' + item.maxAge });
      headers.push({ name: 'x-amz-meta-X-Custom-Header', value: 'Computed Option (Array)' });
      return headers;
    }
  }
  // or
  {
    type: Types.S3File,
    headers: function (item, file){
      var headers = {};
      headers['x-amz-meta-Cache-Control'] = 'max-age=' + item.maxAge;
      headers['x-amz-meta-X-Custom-Header'] = 'Computed Option (Object)';
      return headers;
    }
  }

    return '<pre>'+JSON.stringify(file, false, 2)+'</pre>'+
