Hi Quinlan,

The addon works by observing HTTP requests made by the browser and modifying the headers before the request is sent. Here’s a link to the Mozilla Developer Centre http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Setting_HTTP_request_headers#Observers

BTW, I didn’t answer Davids question: The headers are stored in the browser preferences.

Hey Gareth, I’m interested in the response to David’s question. Any links or info on how firefox generates the HTTP header variables (user-agent … etc ). Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi cap,

I think you need to do some reading up on network theory. This wikipedia article describes the different layers of the network: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

Gareth says:
“Defining a fake IP would require manipulation of the IP layer. Modify Headers will modify the HTTP layer request instructions only.”

What’s the HTTP layer for IP’s?

I remember i used to use MODIFY HEADERS to change my IP address some sites shows, but i forgot the name.

Thanks and sorry for my english

Hey MBF. This feature is already on the roadmap and I am working on it. I ask you to be patient as it is going to take some time to complete.

WRT your question on XPT. This is a compiled IDL file and is created using the gecko sdk: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:SDK

Thank you for your interest.
