getSession Headers Type

I'm trying to access the user session from an endpoint in my express server: 
app.post('/print_auth', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: req.headers,
  });
  console.log(session);
  res.json({ success: true });
});
app.post('/print_auth', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: req.headers,
  });
  console.log(session);
  res.json({ success: true });
});
However, the type that getSession expects for headers is Headers, but the type express gives me is IncomingHttpHeaders. How do I fix this?
Solution:
Update: I wasn't including credentials: true in my fetch call to hit the endpoint, after that it started working. For the typing, this worked: ``` app.post('/print_auth', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {...
