Help: Pass custom header(s) to server
|
|
Protocols: HTTP
|
|
---
|
|
Extra header to include in the request when sending HTTP to a server. You may
|
|
specify any number of extra headers. Note that if you should add a custom
|
|
header that has the same name as one of the internal ones curl would use, your
|
|
externally set header will be used instead of the internal one. This allows
|
|
you to make even trickier stuff than curl would normally do. You should not
|
|
replace internally set headers without knowing perfectly well what you're
|
|
doing. Remove an internal header by giving a replacement without content on
|
|
the right side of the colon, as in: -H \&"Host:". If you send the custom
|
|
header with no-value then its header must be terminated with a semicolon, such
|
|
as \-H \&"X-Custom-Header;" to send "X-Custom-Header:".
|
|
|
|
curl will make sure that each header you add/replace is sent with the proper
|
|
end-of-line marker, you should thus \fBnot\fP add that as a part of the header
|
|
content: do not add newlines or carriage returns, they will only mess things up
|
|
for you.
|
|
|
|
Starting in 7.55.0, this option can take an argument in @filename style, which
|
|
then adds a header for each line in the input file. Using @- will make curl
|
|
read the header file from stdin.
|
|
|
|
See also the --user-agent and --referer options.
|
|
|
|
Starting in 7.37.0, you need --proxy-header to send custom headers intended
|
|
for a proxy.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
curl -H "X-First-Name: Joe" http://example.com/
|
|
|
|
\fBWARNING\fP: headers set with this option will be set in all requests - even
|
|
after redirects are followed, like when told with --location. This can lead to
|
|
the header being sent to other hosts than the original host, so sensitive
|
|
headers should be used with caution combined with following redirects.
|
|
|
|
This option can be used multiple times to add/replace/remove multiple headers.
