We should consider how (lib)curl can/should support this.

5.3 Sort outgoing cookies
All the major browsers sort the cookies sent in the Cookie: header based on
the length of the path for which the cookie is set with. This could lead to
a small fraction of servers to not play well with curl:

5.4 Rearrange request header order
Server implementors often make an effort to detect browser and to reject
clients it can detect to not match. One of the last details we cannot yet
control in libcurl's HTTP requests, which also can be exploited to detect
that libcurl is in fact used even when it tries to impersonate a browser, is
the order of the request headers. I propose that we introduce a new option in
which you give headers a value, and then when the HTTP request is built it
sorts the headers based on that number. We could then have internally created
headers use a default value so only headers that need to be moved have to be
specified.
