Full Request Referer Header Extension


Full Request Referer Header Extension is a lightweight yet powerful Firefox add-on designed for developers, testers,
and technical users who need enhanced control and context when working with HTTP requests. By using this extension,
every outgoing HTTP request will include a custom header—X-Full-Request-Referer (default)—which
contains the full URL of the active browser tab where the request originated. The header name can also be customized
to suit your specific needs.


Features

• Custom Header Injection: Automatically adds a header (default: X-Full-Request-Referer)
  to all outgoing HTTP requests, enabling better tracking and debugging capabilities.
  
• Dynamic URL Context: The header dynamically reflects the URL of the active browser tab at the
  exact moment a request is made.
  
• Toggle On/Off: Easily enable or disable the functionality via a convenient toolbar button.
  
• Customizable Header Name: Use the settings page to change the header name to match your specific
  use case or requirements.
  
• Non-Intrusive Design: Runs seamlessly in the background, ensuring your browsing experience remains
  unaffected.
  

Use Cases

• Debugging: Track the origin of API requests during development to identify issues faster.
  
• Server-Side Context: Enhance server-side processing by supplying the URL of the page where requests originate.
  
• Testing Tools: Combine with tools like Burp Suite or Postman to gain
  deeper insights into HTTP request behavior.
  

How It Works

1. When enabled, the extension monitors all outgoing HTTP requests.
2. It appends a header (default: X-Full-Request-Referer) to each request, containing the full URL
   of the current tab.
3. You can toggle the feature ON or OFF using the button in the browser toolbar.
4. The header name can be customized via the extension’s settings page.

Permissions

• Access to all websites: Required to modify headers for any outgoing request (<all_urls>).
• Web requests: Necessary to append or modify HTTP headers before they are sent.
• Tab information: Used to retrieve the URL of the active browser tab at the time of the request.

Who Should Use This Extension?

This add-on is perfect for developers, testers, and technical professionals who work with web applications and need
better visibility into the context of HTTP requests. Whether you are debugging complex workflows, developing APIs,
