Learning: The headersOf() function from io.ktor.http package is available through wildcard imports like `import io.ktor.http.*`, so no explicit import statement is needed when using wildcard imports from that package.

10-10: HTTPS IANA reference looks good

Switching the IANA perm-headers reference to HTTPS is correct, non-breaking, and consistent with best practices. No further changes needed.
