Add custom request header in Codeception

[markodemo1305]

Currently there is an issue for new Safari 11.1 browser and later that regular login parameters cannot be processed in format: "http(s)://user:pass@host".

There seems to be a way for bypassing this by sending customized request header in Selenium using WebDriverBackedSelenium class.

selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://:@");
selenium.start("addCustomRequestHeader=true");
selenium.addCustomRequestHeader( "Authorization","Basic "+"YWRpZGFzOmFkaWRhczEyMyM=" );

Is theere a way to do this in PHP/Codeception? Since there is no WebDriverBackedSelenium class in codeception, is there some alternative to this which can be used, or some other way of doing this in efficient way?

There is no way to achieve this.
Codeception uses facebook/php-webdriver library for communicating with Selenium.
php-webdriver has no addCustomRequestHeader command and no plans to add it

the addCustomRequestHeaders capability was part of obsolete Selenium RC and is not part of Selenium WebDriver. There is long-standing policy of Selenium project to not manipulate the HTTP protocol itself by Selenium - only focus on emulating user actions. So if you really need this, you must take another approach, like BrowserMob proxy, browser extension etc. See eg. SeleniumHQ/selenium-google-code-issue-archive#2047

@Naktibalda still would be handy to be able to set request header for the symfony client which is capable of doing so. see https://symfony.com/doc/current/http_client.html#headers and Codeception/module-symfony#186

for regular cests you can do

$I->haveHttpHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ABC');
