Description gliesian 2010-02-25 09:20:39 UTC
The Add Header dialog of the HTTP Server-Side Monitor Header Window has an edit box component for the addition of a Header Name (and Value).

If I'm not mistaken, the header names is a define set: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Accept-Ranges, Authorization, Cache-Control, Connection, Cookie, Content-Length, Content-Type, Date, Expect, From, Host, If-Match, If-Modified-Since, If-None-Match, If-Range, If-Unmodified-Since, Max-Forwards, Pragma, Proxy-Authorization, Range, Referer, TE, Upgrade, User-Agent, Via, Warn

Consider adding these header names to a list box in place of the edit box.  *If undefined headers can be added (that I'm not aware of 'or' if the spec changes) than the component will need to adjust for this.

In addition, consider showing header descriptions when a listbox entry is selected and also show the descripion as a tooltip in the finished header table.  Descriptions can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers.

Thanks.

FYI, I'm not a header name expert, so this needs to be scrubbed to see if it's logical.  If it is logical, it would be a nice feature.

Filter the list for HTTP 1.0 vs HTTP 2.0; perhaps a radio button to do so.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
