$httpRemoveHeader

$httpRemoveHeader removes a header that was previously added with $httpAddHeader. Use this when you need to clear a header before your next request.

Syntax

$httpRemoveHeader[Header name]

• Header name: the name of the header to remove.

What happens

1. $httpRemoveHeader removes the header from memory.
2. The next HTTP function you call will not include that header.

Example 1: Removing a header before the next request

$httpAddHeader[Authorization;Bearer abc123def]
$httpGet[https://api.example.com/protected]
$httpResult

$httpRemoveHeader[Authorization]
$httpGet[https://api.example.com/public]
$httpResult

What happens:

1. The first request sends the Authorization header and gets protected data.
2. $httpRemoveHeader clears the Authorization header.
3. The second request does not include the header. The public endpoint works fine without it.

Example 2: Resetting headers between requests

$httpAddHeader[content-type;application/json]
$httpPost[https://api.example.com/data;{"key":"value"}]
$httpResult

$httpRemoveHeader[content-type]
$httpPost[https://api.example.com/login]
$httpResult

What happens:

1. The first request sends JSON with the correct content type.
2. $httpRemoveHeader clears it before the next request.
3. The second request sends no content type header.

Common uses

• Clearing authentication headers after accessing a protected endpoint
• Resetting headers between requests to avoid sending stale data
• Removing headers that are no longer needed
