How to ignore headers when running a mocked request with nock?

Question

I need to mock a request using nock module, which is issued by a module that adds extra headers (x-md5-checksum). And the request does not match because of those headers.

How do I force nock to ignore this header and match the request anyways?

Thanks.

Aaccording to the docs, if reqHeaders is not specified, it will skip them.

If no request headers are specified for mocking then Nock will automatically skip matching of request headers

In case you're validating other headers, and if x-md5-checksum is present, but you don't know it's value, you can use a function or a regex to validate any value, or just a valid md5

nock('http://www.example-com', {
   reqHeaders: {
     'x-md5-checksum': /[a-fA-F0-9]{32}/
     // or
     'x-md5-checksum': value => true // I don't care about the value
   }
})
// or use .matchHeader
.matchHeader('x-md5-checksum', value => true)
.get('/')
