AFNetworking 2.0 add headers to GET request

Question

I've just started using AFNetworking 2.0 and I was wondering how I put in headers into a HTTP Get request. The documentation sets up a GET like this:

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"foo": @"bar"};
[manager POST:@"http://example.com/resources.json" parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];

But since we're not handling NSURLRequests I'm not sure how to set HTTP Headers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's an example using AFNetworking 2.0

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:@"calvinAndHobbesRock" forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-I do what I want"];

[manager GET:@"http://localhost:3000" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];

The key are the following 2 lines:

manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:@"calvinAndHobbessRock" forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-I-do-what-I-want"];
