How do I access the HTTP request header fields via JavaScript?

by

If you want to access referrer and user-agent, those are available to client-side Javascript, but not by accessing the headers directly.

To retrieve the referrer, use document.referrer.
To access the user-agent, use navigator.userAgent.

As others have indicated, the HTTP headers are not available, but you specifically asked about the referer and user-agent, which are available via Javascript.
