Hi, How can I override Host Header when sending out requests ? Google Maps API is pushing to limit API key usage by restricting it to a specific IP address (won't work on dynamic ISPs) or website. Desktop app needs to fake it and pretend to be a website... This doesn't work:
loHttp = Createobject('wwhttp')
loHTTP.AppendHeader("Host",'https://fakesub.fakedomain.com')
lcXML =loHttp.HttpGet(m.lc_url1)
Your host is wrong. It needs to be a domain not a URL ie. Host: fakesub.fakedomain.com.
Just tried it here and it works but not the way you'd expect 😄.
loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
loHttp.AppendHeader("host","test.com")
loHttp.Get("https://west-wind.com/wconnect/testpage.wwd")
In Fiddler:
The host is simply the domain you're trying to reach - you can't really change that outside of the URL and you should never set that.
What are you trying to accomplish? The host is the target domain - changing that isn't going to change anything about a request even if you manage to change it and make it different than the URL's host.
