Get Http Contact Info Customizer Window—Headers Tab

HTTP headers contain general information such as the type of browser or the version of HTTP used. Each header provides one value, which is identified by the header name.

As an example, you may use information from HTTP headers in advanced scripts to customize the behavior of your script for different HTTP versions or for different browser types.

HTTP provides four types of headers:

  • General—Used by both servers and clients (browsers).

  • Server—Used only by servers.

  • Request—Used only by clients (browsers). Common HTTP Request Headers include:

    • Accept. Preferred media type.

    • Authorization. Client user name and password.

    • From. E-mail address of the client.

    • Host. Host name and port number of the server receiving the original request.

    • Referrer. URL of the source document.

    • User-Agent. Browser type.

  • Entity—Used by servers and by clients using POST or PUT methods.

Note

For detailed information about these or other headers, refer to any HTTP reference guide.
