How about c.max(1).min(2000) instead?

Would be better to consume the vector with into_iter.

The header size is different in elements. I think this should be the only difference there.

The best height might change between calling best_height() and starting the iteration itself. get_headers should grab one read lock and reuse it to ensure the state is consistent.

Add a new endpoint to download headers in bulk, up to 2000 with a single request. Headers are returned in binary form, with the VarInt-encoded number of items in the body preceeding them. By default `from_hash` is the current best hash, but a different starting block can be specified. The returned list goes "backwards" returning the `count - 1` blocks *before* `from_hash` plus the header of `from_hash` itself. This allows caching the response indefinitely, since it's guaranteed that the headers that come before a given block will never change. Returns an error if `from_hash` is not a valid block or it isn't found in the blockchain. If `count` is greater than the limit of `2000` it will be silently capped to said value.

Opening this as a draft to gather some feedback. I'm pretty sure this won't compile on liquid right now, but I didn't want to invest too much time getting it to run in case there's no interest for this from your end.
