How to modify HTTP Host header in Browser ?

Question

TonyJK 881

Hi,

We get 404 Error without adding Host Header when performing a CURL.

We just wonder whether it is possible to add the Host Header (Similar to that blog) when we attempt to access a URL via Browser ?

Thanks

@TonyJK Do you want to modify HTTP request headers? if so, you can use url rewrite to modify HTTP request headers. more information you can refer to this link: Setting HTTP request headers.

The blog is a demo of chrome extension for making http requests. The best of these is postman. Recently postman converted to a desktop app.

If you meant just using the url bar in the browser, the browser sets the host header to the dns name in the url.
