How to set HTTP header in RESTEasy client framework?

RESTEasy (a JAX-RS implementation) has a nice client framework, eg:

RegisterBuiltin.register(ResteasyProviderFactory.getInstance());

SimpleClient client = ProxyFactory.create(SimpleClient.class, "http://localhost:8081");
client.putBasic("hello world");

How do you set HTTP headers?

Clarification:

The solution proposed by jkeeler is a good approach, but I want to set HTTP headers on ProxyFactory level and I don't want to pass headers to the client object. Any ideas?
