The **`Early-Data`** header is set by
an intermediary to indicate that the request has been conveyed in [TLS early data](/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Transport_Layer_Security#tls_1.3),
and also indicates that the intermediary understands the {{HTTPStatus("425", "425 (Too Early)")}} status code.

The `Early-Data` header is **not** set by the originator of the
request (i.e., a browser).
