About ReqFlex
ReqFlex is a developer extension that lets you freely add, modify, and remove HTTP request and response headers. It's useful whenever you need to temporarily rewrite headers to test behavior — during API development, general testing, or authentication-related work.
■ Useful for situations like
- Testing API endpoints with authentication tokens or Basic Auth credentials you can't configure directly
- Adding temporary development-only custom headers that production servers won't accept
- Rewriting response headers (cache settings, CORS permissions, etc.) to verify how the browser reacts
- Applying headers to specific sites only, without affecting anything else
- Switching between different header configurations for different environments (development, staging, production)
■ Key features
- Profiles: create multiple named configurations for different purposes, and toggle each one independently. Multiple profiles can be active at the same time
- Add, modify, or remove request headers: attach new headers, rewrite existing values, or strip specific headers from outgoing requests
- Add, modify, or remove response headers: edit headers coming back from the server the same way
- Quick setup for common headers: generate a Basic Auth header just by entering a username and password, or a Bearer token header by entering the token
- URL filters: apply a profile only to requests matching a specific URL pattern, so unrelated sites are never affected
- Use current tab's URL: fill the URL filter field with the active tab's address in one click
- Import/export: save your profiles as a JSON file and load them on another machine or environment
- Input validation: invalid characters in header names or values are flagged immediately
- Localized into 10 languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Thai, Vietnamese, French, Italian, and German, automatically matching your browser's language (or chosen manually in settings)
■ Why install it
- No data ever leaves your browser — all settings are stored locally and nothing is sent to an external server
- Built on Manifest V3's declarativeNetRequest API, so it works with the latest Chrome extension architecture
- Free to use
- A simple interface that's easy to configure even on first use
ReqFlex is built to make development and testing work faster. Give it a try.
