Setting Accept header in flood
I'm using flood to test a REST-style interface. The server uses the
Accept header to tell which kind of return value should be used -
e.g. text/html will return an interactive web interface, and text/xml
will return XML. In order to test the xml interface I need to be able
to set the accept header on requests that flood makes. There doesn't
seem to be an option in the flood config file to set this. Have I
missed something, or do I need to hack in the source to make flood
add this header? If I need to change the source, where should I be
looking for that part of the request creation? (C is not really my
thing).
Thanks,
Marcus

Ergh, note that you might want it to be: "Accept: text/xml" - no
equals as the colon is the HTTP delimiter. =P -- justin

It's already there - set the 'extraheader' attribute in the URL. Like so:
--
<url extraheader="Accept=text/xml">http://www.example.com/</url>
