Is it possible to send a Http header via a URL connection in java? I had this working using sockets, but ran into issues with a firewall which don't seem to be a problem with URLConnection. From looking at the API I get the impression that the output methods in URLConnection are just for filling in forms etc, or can they be used to send my own HTTP headers?

In the Name field, enter the name of your header rule (for example, My header ). From the Type menu, select Request, and from the Action menu, select Set. In the Destination field, enter the name of the header affected by the selected action. In the Source field, enter where the content for the header comes from.
Instead of setting the Header on each and every request, we can also configure it as a default header on the Client itself: Header header = new BasicHeader(HttpHeaders. CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"); List<Header> headers = Lists. newArrayList(header); HttpClient client = HttpClients.
Custom Headers are for troubleshooting, informational purposes, and specific server-side logic. For example, to send a GET request with a custom header name, you can use the "X-Real-IP" header, which defines the client's IP address. For a load balancer service, "client" is the last remote host.
Yes, the method you want is setRequestProperty.

The method you want is setRequestProperty, but I would recommend to use Apaches HttpClient. With this library you have total control over the request you want to send.
