HTTP request header spoofing

[dannyb]

Hiya all,

Does anyone know of a tool/method that will enable me to send a http request to a server with HTTP compression and retrieve the compressed result?

Cheers,

Dan.

Rex Swain's HTTP Viewer [rexswain.com] will let you do this - simply add the word "gzip" (without the quotes) to the Accept-Encoding field and it will request and return the full http response.

Hey thanks!

That is a cool tool!

I was actually hoping to find something that could retrieve the compressed response and write it to a file.
Like 'wget', only able to retrieve compressed content.
