I need to be able to modify the HTTP headers for Internet Explorer for testing purposes.
Basically, I want to achieve the exact same thing that the Modify Headers plugin for Firefox does.
To modify the header with Fiddler:
1- Open Fiddler Web Debugger and in the menu toolbar go to Rules->Customize Rules... (shortcut is Ctrl + R). It opens the CustomRules.js file. Fiddler may suggest you to download Fiddler ScriptEditor but you can edit it with any text editor (I use notepad++)
2- Find OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) in the script file.
3- You can add a new header by adding oSession.oRequest["NewHeaderName"] = "New header value"; to OnBeforeRequest function. Also, to remove a header, use oSession.oResponse.headers.Remove("HeaderName"); function.
For more information see this link
You could install Fiddler and modify request headers with the CustomRules.js file
You could use Charles Proxy to do all sorts of header rewriting. It's a great tool.

I am developing a windows application in vb.net in which i have a url which first ask me to login on the website and then display a view pdf link. As i make it click it again redirect to another page where instead of asking for download pdf it opens it in my web browser control. Now i want to save that opened pdf on my specified path. I have googled a lot but didn't find any solution for the same. I even found some related posts but none of them have my answer. Here my pdf url doesnt contains any file name like '.pdf'. Url contains some token values. To open this url it requires login on the website. I am trying to download pdf file for many days. Please help me.
you have to push your file using http headers
Unique HTTP Headers Returned
because these headers are the only thing controlling how your browser handles the file.
Save As Mode (askapache_pdf=s)
Content-Disposition: attachment
Content-Type: application/pdf
for more info goto http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/pdf-cookies-headers-rewrites.html#Unique_HTTP_Headers_Returned
This does not have anything to do with server side scripting language its same that you have to add a response in your header of http request. But anyway in ASP you should try something like below
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=somefile.ext")
When using Geb, is it possible to set custom request headers and user agent when using the Browser API (and not the Direct Download API)?
While this is possible with the FirefoxDriver (see here), I am looking for a way of doing this with the WebKitDriver.
A possible solution is via a proxy.
BrowserMob has a standalone mode with REST api, or embedded in your test programmatically: https://github.com/webmetrics/browsermob-proxy . Useful when there are a lot of custom headers you want to test.
If you already have Apache, you can create another VirtualHost on a different port having that particular request header, and point your browser to that port before the test. Given that your header doesn't change between tests.
This might not be the direct solution to your question: modify request headers directly in Browser API, but it achieves the end result.
I have a quite simple task:
i need to download file from a web page. In browser, it is done by pressing submit button. Just simple button, press it and you see the pop-up window asking where to save file and so on. Data is sent to server via post method.
I tried POST'ing with curl like: curl -d "foo=bar&....." [URL]
but this request returns the page itself, not the file. And I am quite confused about how to get the file, since I dont know it's adress on server and the only way to get it is to press this freaking button.
Please help
If you use unix-like os system you can use wireshark by simple apply filter "http", or some other software, e.g. tcpdump.
if you under ms windows, fiddler2 is very good tools.
first,
use this kind tools get the accurate information about the tracfic.
then analyze the http request, especially the rquest cookies header.
finally, struct your own request by curl.
the foo=bar&.....
is only the content of the request. you may also attention the header of the request.
or your can post your url, so that other peoplle can help you analyze the stuff.
Use Wireshark or a browser plugin that captures the http request sent on submit, then use curl or, for example, PHP's file_get_contents() to emulate the request.
I am trying to make a simple experimental app. I'd like for it to behave like pastie.
On pasite you can paste code and it will remember your browser.
So if you paste the url (that pastie provides) in the same browser then you'll be able to edit the page. Everyone else will not see the edit link. Basically there is no registration or logging in.
How is this done?
Using HTTP cookies.
