What did you mean by "cypress does not allow passing a header section in cy.request()"? You can of course pass headers, here's a small example from my own cy.request():
```
cy.request({
   method: 'GET',
   url: uniqueUrl,
   headers: {
      Authorization: Cypress.env('BASIC_AUTH'),
   },
}).then(({ status }) => {
   expect(status).to.eq(200);
});
```
