Intercept HTTP requests

Intercept HTTP requests

To intercept HTTP requests, use the webRequest API. This API enables you to add listeners for various stages of making an HTTP request. In the listeners, you can:

• get access to request headers and bodies, and response headers
• cancel and redirect requests
• modify request and response headers

In this article we'll look at three different uses for the webRequest module:

• Logging request URLs as they are made.
• Redirecting requests.
• Modifying request headers.
