I've recently started collecting "X-headers" headers for fun. The X header field is the collective name for the header fields starting with X in the HTTP request. Simply put, these header fields are included or proprietary to some non-standard HTTP protocols. These header fields can play an interesting role when developing mobile portals. I will share the results of my collection of x header fields.
Generally speaking, it is wise to only speak about what you know. So I feel like I'm on thin ice with what I'm doing now, but I hope this post does a little bit of good for the reader.
The X header field can be used in many aspects: user authentication, device identification, network feature confirmation, and so on. This information is useful both in terms of creating a good mobile app experience and in terms of satisfaction.
I have compiled the following list of header domains from devices that have visited my site . I can't understand what they all mean; some are my guesses, but they're still interesting. If I get some of these wrong and you happen to know, please let me know.
These header fields are familiar to us.
| header field name | meaning |
|---|---|
| x-forwarded-for | The source IP address of the client connecting to the server |
| x-forwarded-host | source hostname |
| x-forwarded-server | origin server name |
| x-wap-profile | User agent configuration following specified standards |
