HTTPX protocol - SaferPC/ketarinwiki GitHub Wiki
In order to add cookies and possibly other HTTP information to an HTTP request, you can use Ketarin's HTTPX protocol. To use it, take any HTTP download URL and change http://
to httpx://
. This change alone will make no difference, but when using an HTTPX URL, you can use the following additional options (append them like HTTP GET parameters):
Functionality | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Cookies | Sets a cookie with given name and value when executing the HTTP request. To analyse which cookies a website creates, you can use Firefox: Tools -> Settings -> Privacy -> Cookies (search for website domain). It will show you the name and content of the cookie. |
httpx://...?cookie:name=value |
HTTP-Accept | Sets the HTTP-Accept header to an arbitrary value. (see forum) | httpx://...?header:accept=* |
HTTP-Referer | Sets the HTTP-Referer header to an arbitrary value. | httpx://...?header:referer=* |
