Is it possible to set custom HTTP headers in the WebView

Question

Hi all,

I have to access a web page from within my application and, in order to have access to it, I need to set some custom HTTP headers. I want to use the WebViewclass in my activity but, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to set custom HTTP headers.

So is there a way of using the existing web browser (or WebView) with custom HTTP headers? My application targets Android 1.6.

Any idea how to solve this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You would need to fetch the page yourself (e.g., via HttpClient) and load it into the WebView that way.
