Remove Accept-Encoding from request

Asked by gianni

Hallo,

It's possible to remove some header of some (or all) request?

In particular I'd like to suppress the:
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
that the standard browser send to web server...

Can someone print out an example?

I'm currently working on adapter_modifing.cc with libecap-0.2.0 and last squid version...

Yes, it is possible and fairly easy to do. The Modifying Adapter shows how to add a header using libecap::Header::add(). Use the libecap::Header::removeAny() method to remove the header(s) you want.

And keep in mind that your host application such as Squid may have facilities to suppress request headers as well. If header removal is the only goal, you may not need an adapter.

Ok, I'll try... but to remove

Accept-Encoding (for example)

it's ok:

libecap::Header::removeAny('Accept-Encoding')????

Not exactly, but if you look at how the Modifying Adapter adds a header, you should be able to remove headers using very similar code.
