Changelog Entry

Added

Support for custom HTTP headers

Description

Key changes include:

Centralized header building logic in build_connection_headers (Ollama) and get_headers_and_cookies (OpenAI) to ensure consistent application of headers across all API calls.
New extract_custom_headers utility functions in both backend routers to parse user-defined headers from connection configurations.
Frontend UI updates in AddConnectionModal.svelte to allow users to add, edit, and remove custom header key-value pairs.
Integration of custom headers into various API endpoints for Ollama and OpenAI, ensuring they are included in outgoing requests.
Internationalization updates for the new UI elements.

This enhancement provides greater flexibility for users to configure their connections, especially for scenarios requiring specific authentication or routing headers.
