1107529 - Changing request "Host" header using netmonitor's "Edit and Resend" does not work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1270096

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P2)

Description

[Jon]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141113113219

Steps to reproduce:

Similar to Bug 1009748, but a different header.

- Open https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
- Open developer tools
- Click Network tab
- Select the main HTML request; hit Edit Resend
- Modify the "Host" to "foo.bugzilla.mozilla.org"
- Click "Send"

- Sent the request


Actual results:

Analyze the request and notice the Host header was reverted to "bugzilla.mozilla.org".


Expected results:

The request should have been sent with the Host header "foo.bugzilla.mozilla.org". This can be useful for testing web server configurations. I could then analyze the request/response.

If this request header is _never_ editable, it is ver misleading to allow it.

I don't think this should be marked as a duplicate.  It's not clear to me that it's the same issue.
