I think you use a wrong command, is "headers", not "header" for custom HTTP headers.

./ffmpeg -h full | grep "headers" will get

-headers <string> ED....... set custom HTTP headers, can override built in default headers

*facepalm* You're right! But what does -header do, then? It's not listed in --help and it obviously does something since FFmpeg doesn't complain about it being an invalid option.
