+- Tracking Issue: [apache/incubator-opendal#0000](https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/issues/0000)
+
+# Summary
+
+Extend operation capabilities to support additional native features.
+
+# Motivation
+
+OpenDAL only supports a limited set of capabilities for operations.
+
+- `read`/`stat`: only supports `range`
+- `write`: only supports `content_type` and `content_disposition`
+
+Our community has a strong need for more additional native features. For example:
+
+- [opendal#892](https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/issues/892) wants [Cache-Control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control): Allow users to specify the cache control headers for the uploaded files.
+- [opendal#825](https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/issues/825) wants [If-Match](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/If-Match) and [If-None-Match](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/If-None-Match): Allow users to makes a request conditional.
+- [opendal#1726](https://github.com/apache/incubator-opendal/issues/1726) wants [response-content-disposition](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html): Allow users to specify the content disposition for the downloaded files.
+
+All of these feature requests are essentially asking for the same thing: the capability to define supplementary arguments for operations, particularly about HTTP services.
+
+# Guide-level explanation
+
+In this RFC, we will allow users to specify the standard HTTP headers like cache_control/if_match:
+
+```rust
+let op = OpRead::default().
+ with_cache_control("max-age=3600").
+ with_if_match("\"bfc13a64729c4290ef5b2c2730249c88ca92d82d\"");
+let bs = o.read_with(op).await?;
+```
+
+Also, we will support some non-standard but widely users features like `response-content-disposition`:
+
+```rust
+let op = OpRead::default().
+ with_override_content_disposition("attachment; filename=\"foo.txt\"");
+let req = op.presign_read_with("filename", Duration::hours(1), op)?;
+```
+
+And, finally, we will support allow specify the default headers for services. Take `s3`'s `storage_class` as an example:
+
+```rust
+let mut builder = S3::default();
+builder.default_storage_class("STANDARD_IA");
+builder.default_cache_control("max-age=3600");
+```
+
+In general, we will support the following features:
+
+- Allow users to specify the (non-)standard HTTP headers for operations.
+- Allow users to specify the default HTTP headers for services.
+
+# Reference-level explanation
+
+We will make the following changes in OpenDAL:
+
+For `OpRead` & `OpStat`:
+
+```diff
+pub struct OpRead {
+ br: BytesRange,
++ cache_control: Option<String>,
++ if_match: Option<String>,
++ if_none_match: Option<String>,
++ override_content_disposition: Option<String>,
+}
+```
+
+For `OpWrite`:
+
+```diff
+pub struct OpWrite {
+ append: bool,
+
+ content_type: Option<String>,
+ content_disposition: Option<String>,
++ cache_control: Option<String>,
+}
+```
+
+We will provide different default options for each service. For example, we can add `default_storage_class` for `s3`.
+
+
+# Drawbacks
+
+None
+
+# Rationale and alternatives
+
+## Why using `override_content_disposition` instead of `response_content_disposition`?
+
+`response_content_disposition` is not a part of HTTP standard, it's the private API provided by `s3`.
+
+- `azblob` will use `x-ms-blob-content-disposition` header
+- `ocios` will use `httpResponseContentDisposition` query
+
+OpenDAL does not accept the query as is. Instead, we have created a more readable name `override_content_disposition` to clarify its purpose.
+
+# Prior art
+
+None
+
+# Unresolved questions
+
+None
+
+# Future possibilities
+
+## Strict Mode
+
+Additionally, we have implemented a `strict` option for the `Operator`. If users enable this option, OpenDAL will return an error message for unsupported options. Otherwise, it will ignore them.
+
+For instance, if users rely on the `if_match` behavior but services like `fs` and `hdfs` do not support it natively, they can use the `op.with_strict()` function to prompt OpenDAL to return an error.
