You need to create a new js object and put res.headers into it.

var obj = {};
obj.headers = res.headers;
obj.somethingelse = somethingelse;
var string = JSON.stringify(obj);

The second parameter can be a function to perform replacement while stringifying.

A null or undefined second parameter means that you want to use standard stringification, without any customization.

From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_native_JSON#The_replacer_pa

Starting in Firefox 3.5.4, JSON.stringify() offers additional customization capabilities through the use of optional parameters. The syntax is:

jsonString = JSON.stringify(value [, replacer [, space]])

value The JavaScript object to convert into a JSON string.

replacer A function that alters the behavior of the stringification process, or an array of String and Number objects that serve as a whitelist for selecting the properties of the value object to be included in the JSON string. If this value is null or not provided, all properties of the object are included in the resulting JSON string.

space A String or Number object that's used to insert white space into the output JSON string for readability purposes. If this is a Number, it indicates the number of space characters to use as white space; this number is capped at 10 if it's larger than that. Values less than 1 indicate that no space should be used. If this is a String, the string (or the first 10 characters of the string, if it's longer than that) is used as white space. If this parameter is not provided (or is null), no white space is used. The replacer parameter

The replacer parameter can be either a function or an array. As a function, it takes two parameters, the key and the value being stringified. The object in which the key was found is provided as the replacer's this parameter. Initially it gets called with an empty key representing the object being stringified, and it then gets called for each property on the object or array being stringified. It should return the value that should be added to the JSON string, as follows:

If you return a Number, the string corresponding to that number is used as the value for the property when added to the JSON string. If you return a String, that string is used as the property's value when adding it to the JSON string. If you return a Boolean, "true" or "false" is used as the property's value, as appropriate, when adding it to the JSON string. If you return any other object, the object is recursively stringified into the JSON string, calling the replacer function on each property, unless the object is a function, in which case nothing is added to the JSON string. If you return undefined, the property is not included in the output JSON string. Note: You cannot use the replacer function to remove values from an array. If you return undefined or a function then null is used instead.

Example

function censor(key, value) {
  if (typeof(value) == "string") {
    return undefined;
  }
  return value;
}

var foo = {foundation: "Mozilla", 
           model: "box", 
           week: 45, 
           transport: "car", 
           month: 7};
var jsonString = JSON.stringify(foo, censor);
The resulting JSON string is {"week":45,"month":7}.

If replacer is an array, the array's values indicate the names of the properties in the object that should be included in the resulting JSON string.
