Methods

generateChromeHttpPostHeaders(options)

Returns chromium-like headers

Default options

{
    host = "example.com",
    scheme = "https",
    majorVersion = 115,
    secChUaPlatform = "Windows",
    isMobile = false,
    acceptLanguage = "en-US",
    keepConnectionAlive = true,
    userAgentPlatform = "Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64",
    accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7",
    secFetchSite = "same-origin",
    contentLength = 0,
    contentType = "application/json",
  }

generateFirefoxHttpPostHeaders(options)

Retuns gecko-like headers

Default options

 {
    host = "example.com",
    scheme = "https",
    majorVersion = 115,
    acceptLanguage = "en-US,en;q=0.5",
    keepConnectionAlive = true,
    userAgentPlatform = "Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0",
    accept = "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
    secFetchSite = "same-site",
    contentType = "application/json",
    contentLength = 0,
  }

If options are overridden, they will merge with the default ones.

Thus, changing majorVersion merges with the default options of their respective browser.

Notice

Content-Length's and other data-specific header values should be changed, e.g.

const buffer = getBufferSomehow();

headers['Content-Length'] = buffer.length
