How to fix CodeIgniter headers?

I'm having trouble using request headers in my CodeIgniter custom Controller. The function $request->getHeader('any-header') returns an empty object and using $request->headers() results in an error. How can I fix this issue and use the CodeIgniter functions instead of getallheaders()?

What is an empty object?
It should return a Header object.
