Description

The simplest and most light-weight way to test backends with multiple virtual servers.

The common case is a webserver that can serve multiple websites. If you don't have DNS setup, or DNS refers to a reverse proxy, this extension will allow you to talk directly to the backend server, overwriting the http host header.

Scenario:

Servers: proxy.example.com web01.example.com
websites: foo.com, bar.com
Objective: you want to test how web01.example.com responds to requests to foo.com, but foo.com is already set up in DNS to go to proxy.example.com
Solution: Set the host value to web01.example.com, set the host header to foo.com and browse to http://web01.example.com
This extension will set the host header as though you were accessing http://foo.com

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
