what is the difference of HTTP::header replace and HTTP::redirect

1. Replacing a header does just that, it replaces any header you specify. You could replace the host header or a custom header, or the Location header in a response, etc. The HTTP::redirect command issues a redirect to the client, causing them to initiate a new connection to the specified host & URI.

 

 

2. You want to replace one entire header, or a specific pattern within that header? Either way you'd be using HTTP::replace, but the logic surrounding it would be different depending on what you want to do.

 

 

3. Yes, HTTP::uri will get the information set in the URI if you don't specify any arguments, or set a new URI if you specify a value.

HI,

 

Thanks

 

I want to replace the aaa appear in the first time of HTTP::head

 

how to achieve this?

 

 

You mean replace will not change the url in the browser?

 

 

we also can use HTTP::uri to replace the pattern in URL?

Hi Jucao,

Can you give more detail on what you're trying to do? Can you provide a sample HTTP request that the client makes and what you'd like it to be changed to?

Here's an example of what would help:

GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.20.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.5
Host: www.google.com
My-Custom-Header: aaa-bbb
Accept: */*

GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.20.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.5
Host: www.google.com
My-Custom-Header: bbb-bbb
Accept: */*

GET / HTTP/1.1

 

User-Agent: curl/7.20.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.20.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.2.5

 

Host: www.google.com

 

My-Custom-Header: bbb-bbb
