Request headers

Request headers – Adding additional headers to the HTTP request.

How to add request headers

Adding a custom request header

In this example a HTTP header X-PHP-Version is added to the HTTP request. The value of this header is the version string of the PHP interpreter that is running the instance of HTTP_Request.

<?php
require_once "HTTP/Request.php";

$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://example.com/");
$req->addHeader("X-PHP-Version"phpversion());

$response $req->sendRequest();

if (
PEAR::isError($response)) {
    echo 
$response->getMessage();
} else {
    echo 
$req->getResponseBody();
}
?>

Headers that have been added to the HTTP_Request object can be removed with the method removeHeader(), before sendRequest() has been called.
