By default, CORS does not include cookies on cross-origin requests. This is different from other cross-origin techniques such as JSON-P. JSON-P always includes cookies with the request, and this behavior can lead to a class of vulnerabilities called cross-site request forgery, or CSRF. In order to reduce the chance of CSRF vulnerabilities in CORS, CORS … Read more
It prevents the browser from doing MIME-type sniffing. Most browsers are now respecting this header, including Chrome/Chromium, Edge, IE >= 8.0, Firefox >= 50 and Opera >= 13. See : https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/09/02/ie8-security-part-vi-beta-2-update.aspx?Redirected=true Sending the new X-Content-Type-Options response header with the value nosniff will prevent Internet Explorer from MIME-sniffing a response away from the declared content-type. EDIT: … Read more
Pragma is the HTTP/1.0 implementation and cache-control is the HTTP/1.1 implementation of the same concept. They both are meant to prevent the client from caching the response. Older clients may not support HTTP/1.1 which is why that header is still in use.
If you want to access referrer and user-agent, those are available to client-side Javascript, but not by accessing the headers directly. To retrieve the referrer, use document.referrer. To access the user-agent, use navigator.userAgent. As others have indicated, the HTTP headers are not available, but you specifically asked about the referer and user-agent, which are available … Read more
Yes, assuming the HTTP server you’re talking to supports/allows this: public long GetFileSize(string url) { long result = -1; System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url); req.Method = “HEAD”; using (System.Net.WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse()) { if (long.TryParse(resp.Headers.Get(“Content-Length”), out long ContentLength)) { result = ContentLength; } } return result; } If using the HEAD method is not allowed, or … Read more
You cannot check it from the server’s side, but you can use javascript to detect it after the page has loaded. Compare top and self, if they’re not identical, you are in a frame. Additionally, some modern browsers respect the X-FRAME-OPTIONS header, that can have two values: DENY – prevents the page from being rendered … Read more
There’s a headers parameter in the config object you pass to $http for per-call headers: $http({method: ‘GET’, url: ‘www.google.com/someapi’, headers: { ‘Authorization’: ‘Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==’} }); Or with the shortcut method: $http.get(‘www.google.com/someapi’, { headers: {‘Authorization’: ‘Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==’} }); The list of the valid parameters is available in the $http service documentation.
There is no way in Selenium to read the request or response headers. You could do it by instructing your browser to connect through a proxy that records this kind of information. Setting the User Agent in Firefox The usual way to change the user agent for Firefox is to set the variable “general.useragent.override” in … Read more
As explained by Alex’s link you’re probably missing the header Content-Disposition on top of Content-Type. So something like this: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=”MyFileName.ext”
The best HTTP header for your client to send an access token (JWT or any other token) is the Authorization header with the Bearer authentication scheme. This scheme is described by the RFC6750. Example: GET /resource HTTP/1.1 Host: server.example.com Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIXVCJ9TJV…r7E20RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ If you need stronger security protection, you may also consider the following IETF … Read more
