Modify SPDY headers (Middle Man)

[Vimala Tadepalli]

Hi,

Our firewall needs to modify the SPDY request made by the clients to youtube.com, so that they are redirected to youtube education.

For this we need to add a new HTTP header (X-youtube-Edu-Filter) with the value.

As soon as firewall gets the packet, i tried to implement the following

1. If its a SYN_STREAM packet, inflate it

2. Add the new header, update the length and no of variables

3. Deflate the SYN_STREAM and send it 

so initial request like this

"method:GET

:path:/

:version:HTTP/1.1

:host:www.youtube.com

:scheme:https

user-agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0

accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

accept-language:en-US,en;q=0.5

cookie:VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=rYaTLyzTFXo; PREF=f5=30; YSC=s63CQVwF-ok"

has  been changed to 

":method:GET

:path:/

:version:HTTP/1.1

:host:www.youtube.com

:scheme:https

user-agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0

accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

accept-language:en-US,en;q=0.5

cookie:VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=rYaTLyzTFXo; PREF=f5=30; YSC=s63CQVwF-ok

X-YouTube-Edu-Filter:0qzoTGqXlavINAsJGcxPjg"

When i send this request, youtube server is replying with a 400(Bad Request). Can someone let me know if i am missing anything?

Thanks

Vimala

Per spec, the header name must all be lowercase.
