Aws-sdk-js: Add custom headers support to SES sendEmail

[jiripospisil]

Hello everybody!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The ses.sendEmail method is very convenient and it's all I need most of the time. Sometimes, however, I need to add a custom header. Instead of me just specifying this one single header in an option, I need to completely change the way I send the email and use ses.sendRawEmail, which requires me to assemble the message myself. It's great when I need the flexibility but it's annoying to have to use it just because of a single header.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to specify extra headers in the ses.sendEmail method.

const params = {
  ...
  headers: {
    "X-Foo": "bar"
  }
};

ses.sendEmail(params, ...)

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is to use ses.sendRawEmail but it's much more involved and 99% of the time I just emulate what ses.sendEmail does plus I push a bunch of additional headers.

Hey @jiripospisil,

Have you tried sending custome header with the request? You can do this via the SDK event listeners like this:

const request = ses.sendEmail(params);//no calllbacks here
request.on('build', (req) => {
    req.httpRequest.headers['X-Foo'] = 'something'
});
request.send(callback);

If it doesn't work, you might need to submit this feature reqeust to the service team on their forum.
