HTTP Headers Management

Managing HTTP Headers

Carapace allows you to customize requests (from clients to Carapace, before server forwarding) and responses (from backends to Carapace, before client forwarding) by adding, removing or setting HTTP Headers.

HTTP Response Headers

In order to manage HTTP Responses headers all you need to do is:

1. define headers to manage
2. link defined headers to the actions you want all responses from has the headers

In Carapace configuration you can define which headers to manage as follow:

header.i.id = HEADER_ID id to reference in actions definition
header.i.name = HEADER_NAME standard header name
header.i.value = HEADER_VALUE value of the header
header.i.mode = set|add|remove to override (set), append (add) the header value or remove it

Once done, in order to apply defined headers to HTTP Responses you only need to reference them in the actions with:

action.i.headers = HEADER_ID1,HEADER_ID2 ids of configured headers to add in all responses for this action.
