 Capture HTTP request and response headers

 ***************
-To capture predefined HTTP request headers as span attributes, set the environment variable ``OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_CAPTURE_HEADERS_SERVER_REQUEST``
-to a comma-separated list of HTTP header names.
+To capture HTTP request headers as span attributes, set the environment variable

+    export OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_CAPTURE_HEADERS_SERVER_REQUEST="Accept.*,X-.*"
 
-It is recommended that you should give the correct names of the headers to be captured in the environment variable.

-The name of the added span attribute will follow the format ``http.request.header.<header_name>`` where ``<header_name>`` being the normalized HTTP header name (lowercase, with - characters replaced by _ ).
-The value of the attribute will be single item list containing all the header values.
+To capture all request headers, set ``OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_CAPTURE_HEADERS_SERVER_REQUEST`` to ``".*"``.

+Sanitizing headers
+******************
+In order to prevent storing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), session keys, passwords,
+etc, set the environment variable ``OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_CAPTURE_HEADERS_SANITIZE_FIELDS``
+to a comma delimited list of HTTP header names to be sanitized.  Regexes may be used, and all header names will be
+matched in a case-insensitive manner.
+
+For example,
+::
+
+    export OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_HTTP_CAPTURE_HEADERS_SANITIZE_FIELDS=".*session.*,set-cookie"
+
+will replace the value of headers such as ``session-id`` and ``set-cookie`` with ``[REDACTED]`` in the span.

-    Environment variable names to capture http headers are still experimental, and thus are subject to change.
