How to add http/2 header in htaccess to push a file

Question

I'm trying preload a file pushing it by an HTML header based on HTTP/2 directive. But I receive an error 500 after make any modification in htaccess file.

Here is the piece of code that i'm using in htaccess:

# add custom header to single file
<Files index.html>
    Link: </themes/PRS060142/assets/css/570eb83859dc23dd0eec423a49e147fe.woff2>; rel=preload; as=font
</Files>

Somebody knows what is the correct way to send HTML heads by htaccess?

This is the syntax for Apache (I've shorted the full path for readability):

<Files index.html>
    Header add Link "</theme...fe.woff2>; rel=preload; as=font; crossorigin"
</Files>

Note you also need to add the crossorigin attribute for fonts - because of various reasons :-)

The syntax seem correct, the file is preloaded but the initiator not appear like "push" in the network tab, appears like "other" – Carlos Hervas Ortega Nov 09 '20 at 09:18
Ah I missed the fact you were pushing a font. They need a special `crossorigin` attribute. Answer updated. – Barry Pollard Nov 09 '20 at 16:03
