test case

var http = require("http");

var headersArray = [
 ['Host','echo.websocket.org'],
 ['Connection','Upgrade'],
 ['Upgrade','websocket'],
 ['Origin','http://www.websocket.org'],
 ];
var headersObj = {
 'Host':'echo.websocket.org',
 'Connection':'Upgrade',
 'Upgrade':'websocket',
 'Origin':'http://www.websocket.org'
};

var req = http.request({
 method: "GET",
 host: "echo.websocket.org" ,
 path: "ws://echo.websocket.org/?encoding=text",
 headers: headersArray
});
req.on('response',function(res){
 console.log('response' , res.headers);
});
req.on('upgrade',function(res){
 console.log('upgrade',res.headers);
});
req.end();

error output

From docs:

headers: An object containing request headers.

You should use headersObj.

Why has this line ?
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v6.4.0/lib/_http_client.js#L124

this code work well

var http = require("http");

var headersArray = [
 ['Host','echo.websocket.org'],
 ['Connection','Upgrade'],
// ['Upgrade','websocket'],
 ['Origin','http://www.websocket.org'],
 ];

var req = http.request({
 method: "GET",
 host: "echo.websocket.org" ,
 path: "ws://echo.websocket.org/?encoding=text",
 headers: headersArray
});
req.on('response',function(res){
 console.log('response' , res.headers);
});
req.on('upgrade',function(res){
 console.log('upgrade',res.headers);
});
req.end();

Hmm, interesting...

You really should use the documented API for headers (objects, not arrays). Nonetheless, I have a fix for this in #8238.

[magicode]

Array is only way to send duplicate headers.
without nodejs merge them.

What server requires duplicate HTTP headers?

[magicode]

For proxy server.
There are many browsers and software and servers that not meet the standards.
