I have added security to one of my services, and I would like to test it,
Is there some way of adding the Key and Name in the Header?
How can I do that in Fiddler, What do I have to type?
If you simply want to add a custom header to all outbound requests, go to the FILTERS tab and in the Request Headers section, add your custom header.

I'm trying to call a GET request using chopper with a custom referer. But everytime it calls, it only uses the default referer. I added a custom header and it still works
You can not change referrer programmatically. please refer this web page : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Forbidden_header_name
A forbidden header name is the name of any HTTP header that cannot be
modified programmatically; specifically,
I'm working with an API that doesn't yet have CORS setup. So, instead of waiting until that's setup, I thought I could use fiddler to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the responses coming from the server. I haven't used fiddler for a while and can't figure out how to add headers to the response. Is this not supported in the free version of fiddler-everywhere?
It's not ideal, but I found a workaround. After the requests have gone off once, I right-click the ones I'm interested in and select "Add new rule". The rule will automatically do an exact match to the URL and sets the action of "Return manually crafted response" If I edit the rule, the header can be added in the raw text.
Situation:
Using recording with Jmeter I have generated a list of api requests. The way my test object works is that when you login using UI it creates a key for the entire session (which also keeps on changing), however there is an option of having a static api key for a user that you can use for all requests when sending the api requests NOT using the UI of my software.
Problem:
I have a list of api requests that I want to test but I would like to overwrite only one variable in the header of all my api requests (i.e. adding the static api key).
Is there a way of overwriting only one variable in all (most of) the headers?
The Header Manager lets you add or override HTTP request headers.
Create a header manager at the top and enter the common value. This value will be send with all the headers.
For more information check the below link:-

Hope this helps.
Add/Copy desired HTTP Header Manager above the Thread Group OR above Recording Controller and remove/disable all HTTP Header Manager inside request samplers, all request samplers will use the Main HTTP Header by default.
Cheers!
In Fiddler, when I get an HTTP response, in the Headers tab (it's the Standard.ResponeHeaderView inspector), the response headers have been automatically 'categorized' so that, for instance, some are identified as 'Cache' headers, some as 'Entity' and so forth. Is there any way to alter this categorization?
For instance, I would like to identify some headers as coming from e.g. Akamai, based on the header name, so that I can click on the header to compress them from the view, if I don't care about them.
This Inspector is not presently customizable in that way. You could write FiddlerScript to remove unwanted headers from the responses entirely, or you could write your own Inspector that hides the headers of your choice.
Is it possible to modify a property of a change request by using the OSLC-CM REST API of a change management system. The system that I'm trying to achieve that is Rational Change.
I can browse and query via the REST API, but to modify anything I need to resort to command line which is rather slow.
Is there a way?

To update resources using the OSLC-CM REST API you simply just can use HTTP PUT. In order to do this, you'll first need the URL of the Change Request.
The steps to achieve this (using any HTTP client) are:
acquire URL for Change Request (usually done by query, or stored reference, etc)
Perform an HTTP GET on that URL, specifying a format for use in editing. This is done using 'Accept' header, some typical values would be 'application/xml', 'application/json' or 'application/rdf+xml'.
Note, it is a good idea to set the header 'OSLC-Core-Verson: 2.0' as well to ensure you are working with the 2.0 formats.
Once you have fetched the resource, modify the property to the value you want.
Using HTTP PUT, send the modified resource in the content body to the same URL you fetched the resource from.
Additionally you will most likely need to pass along some additional headers to help the server detect any possible conflict.
You should get back a 200 (OK) or 204 (No content) response on success.
An optimization would be to do the same steps as above but only request the properties of interest and only send them by using the selective properties feature of OSLC.
So I've finally got it working with some help from googlegroups
To recap what I've done so that someone else might benefit too (I really have searched for it and the IBM documentation is as in most of the cases not helping):
So to modify PR/CR' implement_actual_effort attribute on the Rational Change server the following procedure was successful (using Firefox REST plugin):
1. In Headers set: Accept to application/xml, Content-Type to application/xml
Put the oslc address of the cr i URL in my case it was:
http://[IP:PORT]/change/oslc/db/[DB hex ID]/role/User/cr/[web_encoded_name_of_the_CR]?oslc_cm.properties=change:implement_actual_effort
(note in browser http://[IP:PORT]/change/oslc/db/[DB hex ID]/role/User/cr/[web_encoded_name_of_the_CR] will open change page of the CR/PR)
In REST client set Method to GET and press SEND
Click on the Response Body (RAW), copy xml Body
Change Method to PUT, change the value of the attribute (in the xml in Body window)
Press SEND
Attribute should have been changed right now, and the response should be similiar to what you've sent, with the attribute showing the change.
Note that to change an attribute (called property from oslc point of view) one has to provide ?oslc_cm.properties=[properties delimited with comma]
and in the request body xml the same properties have to be present, if I remember correctly if the property isn't mentioned in the xml it will be set to default
I hope this helps someone
