Cookies header (and other headers) does not work when using "follow".

[Baltazar500]

Cookies header (and other headers) does not work when using "follow". For base url only. Checked via BURP (used --proxy key) I changed the position of the header in the expression before and after follow, but it didn't help.

Cookies from the file did not check, and it is difficult to use them

Indeed, it does not use the header. --method, --data, and --header

Mostly because, when the follow is a POST request, it might need its own headers that would be calculated in the follow option

You could use --follow ' {"header": "....", "url": "..."} '

Or the cookies from the file

You could use --follow ' {"header": "....", "url": "..."} '

@benibela, Thanks, this works, but each new child or parallel request must be provided with a cookie header. Is it possible to use the specified cookie header at the beginning for all parallel or child requests? Maybe a special option?

[benibela]

You can save the headers in a variable and reuse them later

--follow ' {"header": $myheaders := "....", "url": "..."} '

then

--follow ' {"header": $myheaders, "url": "..."} '

I could change it to share Cookie headers (but not other headers like Referer). Or I could add an option --global-header="Somehader: " that shares the header to the children. Or an option like --make-all-headers-global.

@benibela,

That's what I did then. Only I had to repeat this 6 times and because of this, the expression became much larger

I could change it to share Cookie headers (but not other headers like Referer). Or I could add an option --global-header="Somehader: " that shares the header to the children. Or an option like --make-all-headers-global.

The parameter --global-header="Somehader: " is what is needed in this case :) But the --make-all-headers-global parameter, I think, would also be useful :)
