I think you're expecting too much: the httpHeaders property is empty by default, and you'll find documentation about what you can put in there by reading the HTTP protocol RFCs. By default MetaCard just includes the first line and a "Content-Length:" header. Putting some of the others (particularly the Host: header) wouldn't be a bad idea, depending what HTTP server you're trying to connect to.
