XMLHttpRequest corrupts headers named after Object prototype properties #58232

Description

@OskarEichler

Description

React Native XMLHttpRequest stores request headers and normalized response headers in ordinary objects. Valid header names that collide with Object.prototype are therefore corrupted or hidden: repeated Constructor values begin with inherited function text, __proto__ cannot be stored normally, and an absent toString response header is returned as an inherited function instead of null.

Expected behavior

All valid case-insensitive header names should be stored, combined, and retrieved as their own values without interacting with JavaScript object prototypes.

React Native Version

0.87.1 and current main
