Custom per-connection headers can now forward the user's groups to
upstream backends via two new template placeholders:
- {{USER_GROUPS}}: comma-separated group names
- {{USER_GROUP_IDS}}: comma-separated group ids
The group lookup is async, so get_custom_headers becomes an async
wrapper around the sync template substitution (parse_custom_headers)
and fetches groups lazily — only when a header value actually
references a groups placeholder. The external document loader path
runs in a worker thread without an event loop, so Loader.aload
prefetches the groups before offloading and passes them through to
ExternalDocumentLoader.

Adds a {{USER_AGENT}} custom-header placeholder that relays the inbound
client's User-Agent to upstream model backends, so providers see the real
client instead of Open WebUI's internal aiohttp UA. This makes upstream
usage/cost attribution and backend telemetry possible, and is opt-in
per-connection (no global flag): admins add {{USER_AGENT}} to a connection's
custom headers in Admin > Settings > Connections.
The placeholder is sourced from the live inbound request (with a metadata
fallback for detached RAG/tool calls), so it resolves on every prompt-sending
path, not just chat completions:
- OpenAI completions, Responses API, and proxy — all route through
get_headers_and_cookies, which now passes the request into get_custom_headers.
- Anthropic Messages API (/api/v1/messages) — already covered, it delegates
to the chat completion handler.
- Ollama (/api/chat, /v1/completions, /v1/chat/completions, /v1/messages,
/v1/responses) — previously had no custom-header support at all; send_request
now applies per-connection custom headers (with templating) for every
Ollama prompt endpoint.
Custom headers are applied after the built-in user-info headers so explicit
admin-configured headers take precedence. The other existing placeholders
({{CHAT_ID}}, {{USER_ID}}, ...) now also work on the newly covered paths.
Frontend: the connection editor's Headers field is now shown for Ollama
connections too (previously gated to non-Ollama), so the placeholder can be
configured there.
