A web service I need to interact with (often manually for testing) requires an extra HTTP header on certain requests. Quick manual testing works quite great with PowerShell's New-WebServiceProxy but so far I haven't found an option to add another HTTP header to the request.
Is there something for that?

HTTP does not place a predefined limit on the length of each header field or on the length of the header section as a whole, as described in Section 2.5.
Select the web site where you want to add the custom HTTP response header. In the web site pane, double-click HTTP Response Headers in the IIS section. In the actions pane, select Add. In the Name box, type the custom HTTP header name.
In the Home pane, double-click HTTP Response Headers. In the HTTP Response Headers pane, click Add... in the Actions pane. In the Add Custom HTTP Response Header dialog box, set the name and value for your custom header, and then click OK.
You can manipulate the headers of incoming HTTP requests through HTTP Request Header Modification Rules. Through these rules you can: Set the value of an HTTP request header to a literal string value, overwriting its previous value or adding a new header to the request.

You could use .NET's web client from PowerShell.
> $webClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient > $webClient.Headers.add('accept','application/json') > $webClient.DownloadString('http://yourURLhere') If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
