Request Headers
Every programming language has an API for HTTP requests along with a way to edit the request-headers. Making a Fetch request in JavaScript or, similarly, a Get request C#, with default arguments is a simple and easy way of requesting a web page. Browsers commonly include multiple request headers Accept-*
and Connection
. Because the browser is a specific type of user agent, default headers may impact, limit, or affect the server response.
This app is designed for both frontend page and backend data requests and uses a default, embedded, User-Agent
request-header. Request headers are not included unless specified or required otherwise. Remember, it is always recommended to include the Host
header. The default User-Agent may be disabled if needed, though it is recommended to either keep it enabled or add one manually.

Options:
Servers understand request headers defined by RFC 2616 specification. Written in C#, this specification is adhered to by parsing utf-8 body data, then setting the Content-Length
and Content-Type
appropriately for plain text. Users can add any header name and value they choose to manipulate the server response.
