I'm trying to write a test against a site that authenticate's by checking some headers. In other frameworks it's possible to add headers to the driver but I can't see anything like that in Selenium.
Is there a way to add request headers to selenium webdriver? Ideally on a per-test case so the existing suite doesn't have to use headers it doesn't need.
Why not use basic HttpClient
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId> <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId> <version>4.5.14</version> </dependency> or you can use RestTemplate or WebClient depending upon your requirement.
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId> <version>3.0.2.RELEASE</version> </dependency> Since you are trying to setup headers, you are not testing UI but rather your endpoints. Selenium is not supposed to be used like this. Selenium automates actions by a user in browser. Since user doesn't/cannot specify header, you shouldn't try that either.
