chromium - send custom header info on initial page load c#

Question

Or How to inject a custom header into the initial request to a site when new-ing up an instance of the ChromiumWebBrowser.

I\'m a noob with Chromium

Answer 1

You should create a class that implement IRequestHandler then set an instance of that class as RequestHandler in your browser object.

With version 53, that class should look like:

class ChromeBrowserRequestHandler: IRequestHandler
    {
        public bool GetAuthCredentials(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, bool isProxy, string host, int port, string realm, string scheme, IAuthCallback callback)
        {
            return false;
        }

        public bool OnBeforeBrowse(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, bool isRedirect)
        {
            return false;
        }

        public bool OnBeforePluginLoad(IWebBrowser browser, string url, string policyUrl, WebPluginInfo info)
        {
            return false;
        }

        public CefReturnValue OnBeforeResourceLoad(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, IRequestCallback callback)
        {
            var headers = request.Headers;
            headers["Custom-Header"] = "My Custom Header";
            request.Headers = headers;

            return CefReturnValue.Continue;
        }

        public bool OnCertificateError(IWebBrowser browser, CefErrorCode errorCode, string requestUrl)
        {
            return false;
        }

        public void OnPluginCrashed(IWebBrowser browser, string pluginPath)
        {
        }

        public void OnRenderProcessTerminated(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, CefTerminationStatus status)
        {
        }

        public IResponseFilter GetResourceResponseFilter(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, IResponse response) 
        { 
            return null; 
        }

        public bool OnCertificateError(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, CefErrorCode errorCode, string requestUrl, ISslInfo sslInfo, IRequestCallback callback) 
        {
            return false; 
        }

        public bool OnOpenUrlFromTab(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, string targetUrl, WindowOpenDisposition targetDisposition, bool userGesture) 
        {
            return false; 
        }

        public void OnPluginCrashed(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, string pluginPath) 
        {
        }

        public bool OnProtocolExecution(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, string url) 
        {
            return false;
        }

        public bool OnQuotaRequest(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, string originUrl, long newSize, IRequestCallback callback) 
        {
            return false;
        }

        public void OnRenderViewReady(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser) 
        { 
        }

        public void OnResourceLoadComplete(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, IResponse response, UrlRequestStatus status, long receivedContentLength)
        { 
        }

        public void OnResourceRedirect(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, ref string newUrl) 
        { 
        }

        public bool OnResourceResponse(IWebBrowser browserControl, IBrowser browser, IFrame frame, IRequest request, IResponse response) 
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

Then, while creating your browser object:

ChromiumWebBrowser myBrowser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("whatever.com")
{
    RequestHandler = new ChromeBrowserRequestHandler()
};

Note that the request handler must be set before loading the page. If you can't set the request handler during instanctiaction, you can still set it later a reload the page with myBrowser.Load("whatever.com") .
