Este plugin me ha ayudado en un problema que tenía con las cabeceras, ya que mi servidor está basado en una distro de nginx (Openresty) y mi proveedor no me daba acceso para modificar el fichero de configuración. Pero con este plugin he podido agregar los headers necesarios. Recomendado!!!!

Sorry but this needs work. The css alone broke so many things by animating “button” it was too much to overcome
