Alter your HTTP request headers on the fly
Header-Editor is an extension that will allow you to create and use arbitrary HTTP headers in Chrome.
The following permissions are needed for Header-Editor to run:
- webRequest - Used to access the requests being sent out.
- webRequestBlocking - So that headers are modified before being sent.
- <all_urls> - All URLs are asked for since the extension cannot know ahead of time where it will be needed.
Note: Response headers do not appear in the Network Inspector, however they are supplied to your code. For more details, see:
