Selenium WebDriver
Introduction:
​modheader/modheader_selenium is our repo for using ModHeader in WebDriver. We created special builds for ModHeader that expose some URLs as APIs to manipulate ModHeader. These APIs are not available in the regular ModHeader. With these builds, you can setup WebDriver to configure ModHeader programmatically.
Installation:
To use this in NodeJS for Chrome, install the chrome-modheader package:
npm install chrome-modheader
To use this in NodeJS for Firefox, install the firefox-modheader package:
npm install firefox-modheader
For other programming languages, you can download the prepackaged extensions below and load them into WebDriver as needed.
​Download for Chrome​
​Download for Firefox​
Usage:
Take a look at the examples directory for more detailed examples
Selenium Webdriver with Chrome:
const { getExtension, getAddHeaderUrl } = require('chrome-modheader');
const options = new chrome.Options().addExtensions(getExtension());
const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').setChromeOptions(options).build();
await driver.get(getAddHeaderUrl('HeaderName', 'HeaderValue'));
Selenium Webdriver with Firefox:
const { getExtension, getAddHeaderUrl } = require('firefox-modheader');
​
const options = new firefox.Options();
options.addExtensions(getExtension());
const driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').setFirefoxOptions(options).build();
await driver.get(getAddHeaderUrl('HeaderName', 'HeaderValue'));
Webdriver.io:
Modify wdio.conf.js file
const chromeModheader = require('chrome-modheader');
const firefoxModheader = require('firefox-modheader');
​
exports.config = {
  capabilities: [
    {
      browserName: 'chrome',
      'goog:chromeOptions': {
        extensions: [chromeModheader.getEncodedExtension()]
      }
    },
    {
      browserName: 'firefox'
    }
  ],
  services: [
    ['selenium-standalone', { logPath: 'logs', installArgs: { drivers }, args: { drivers } }],
    [
      'firefox-profile',
      {
        extensions: [firefoxModheader.getExtension()]
      }
    ]
  ],
​
  before: function (capabilities, specs) {
    browser.url(chromeModheader.getAddHeaderUrl('accept-encoding', ''));
  }
};
Java Selenium
For Chrome
Path currentRelativePath = Paths.get("chrome-modheader/modheader.crx");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File(currentRelativePath.toAbsolutePath().toString()));
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?test=ModHeader%20Test");
For Firefox
Path currentRelativePath = Paths.get("firefox-modheader/modheader.xpi");
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addExtension(new File(currentRelativePath.toAbsolutePath().toString()));
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
options.setProfile(profile);
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?test=ModHeader%20Test");
Python Selenium
For Chrome
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_extension('chrome-modheader/modheader.crx')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
driver.get("https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?test=ModHeader%20Test")
For Firefox
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(GeckoDriverManager().install()))
driver.install_addon('firefox-modheader/modheader.xpi')
driver.get("https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?test=ModHeader%20Test")
API:
All APIs are URL-based. Please make sure to URL encode your name and value properly.
Note that the webdriver.modheader.com URLs only work when the extensions are properly loaded. Older versions of the extensions use webdriver.bewisse.com and bewisse.com. These will continue to work in the newer version.
If you are using npm, you can also use the getAddHeaderUrl(), getAddHeadersUrl() and getClearHeadersUrl() functions to craft these URLs. Be sure to do driver.get(), and be mindful that these will change the URL of the WebDriver.
Add request header:
https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?{name1}={value1}&{name2}={value2}&...
e.g., https://webdriver.modheader.com/add?Test=1
Node API equivalent:
function getAddHeaderUrl(name, value) {}
function getAddHeadersUrl({ name: value }) {}
Construct the URL above using getAddHeaderUrl('Test', '1') or getAddHeadersUrl({ Test: '1' })
Clear all modified request headers:
https://webdriver.modheader.com/clear
Node API equivalent:
function getClearHeadersUrl() {}
Load custom profile:
https://webdriver.modheader.com/load?profile={exported_profile_in_json}
exported_profile_in_json can be obtained from the regular ModHeader extension using ... -> Export Profile. Note that ModHeader exports an array of profiles by default, but this API will only accept a single profile, so you will need to extract the profile you want from the array and pass it in.
Node API equivalent:
function getLoadProfileUrl(exported_profile) {}
