Add custom headers to HTTPRequest

Hi Fred
Would it be possible to add an optional parameter to HTTPRequest to add custom headers ?
i.e. equivalent of something like this in JS:
Code: Select all
$.ajax({
url: 'some/url/on/the/web/',
headers: { 'x-super-spiderbasic-header': 'hello world' }
});
So in SB it would be something like:
Code: Select all
HTTPRequest(#PB_HTTP_POST, "some/url/on/the/web", "", @MyCallBack(), 0, "'x-super-spiderbasic-header':'hello world'")
Maybe there is a more elegant way of adding it in?
Thank you
(Edited: corrected my SB version to mirror the header in the JS version)

Hi Fred,
Any news on whether this will be implemented? Not being able to set custom headers means that I cannot build front ends to certain APIs that mandate the use of specific headers such as Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept, etc as well as some custom X-
something style headers.
Pretty please?
Thanks in hope/anticipation
PS - being able to access the response headers is needed too. Thank you!
Edit: corrected some typos

Using a map will allow you to add multiple headers.
Code: Select all
NewMap headers.s()
headers("x-super-spiderbasic-header") = "hello world"
HTTPRequest(#PB_HTTP_Post, "some/url/on/the/web", "", @MyCallBack(), 0, headers())

Yes the ability to add more than 1 custom header is crucial. I like the idea of a map.

Just a polite request for info from @fred: do you have a feel for when this might get added to SB? I have a project that is currently paused due to it requiring
JavaScript Web Tokens for which I need to be able to set the Authorization (with Bearer) header.
I know that you are busy getting SB2.0.0 and PB5.44LTS out of the door, but just a feel for a timescale would be very useful. I promise that I won't hold you to it!
