Modifying HTTP requests

[Ben Campbell]

With the addon sdk is there any way to hook into the general HTTP
request system?
I'd like to write an extension that examines and modifies requests - eg
to change the URL or user-agent string for certain requests, say.

Thanks,
Ben.

I haven't tried this yet, tho I want to! :)

Check out the 'http-on-modify-request' event and related events, documentation at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Observer_Notifications#HTTP_requests

For more: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Setting_HTTP_request_headers

This would make a pretty sweet module!

I have implemented this into my addon, but not as a separate module.  I will look into doing that soon.
