There are many SO questions how to get http headers with javascript, but for some reason they don't show up HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY header.

If I try to do with php echo $_SERVER[HTTP_CF_IPCOUNTRY];, it works, so CF is working just fine.

Is it possible to get this header with javascript?

Assuming you are talking about client side JavaScript: no, it isn't possible.

The server looks up that IP address in a database and finds the matching country

The data never even goes near the browser.

For JavaScript to access it, you would need to read it with server side code and then put it in a response back to the browser.
