    Shortcuts for generating request headers.

    :param keep_alive:
        If ``True``, adds 'connection: keep-alive' header.

        Can be a boolean, list, or string.
        ``True`` translates to 'gzip,deflate'.
        List will get joined by comma.

        Colon-separated username:password string for 'proxy-authorization: basic ...'
        auth header.

        If ``True``, adds 'cache-control: no-cache' header.
