We can't use .then for returning the header because the promise doesn't allow for multiple return values. (e.g., (res, err))

... the then "callbacks" can have only [one] argument. The reason for this is that those "callbacks" correspond to the return value / exception from synchronous programming and you can't return multiple results / throw multiple exceptions from a regular function.
