Example 42-1. 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.
