Can I modify outgoing request headers with a Chrome Extension?

Question

I can't see an answer to this in the Developer's Guide, though maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

I want to intercept HTTP requests with a Chrome Extension, and then forward it on, potentially with new/different HTTP headers - how can I do that?

Answer 1

You are looking at the right place, but intercepting HTTP requests does not exist yet, but the extension team is aware that it's a popular request and would like to get to it sometime in the near future.
