Request headers

Request headers --  Adding additional headers to the HTTP request.

How to add request headeres

Example 32-1. 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. 

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.
