When manually testing requests in Postman, is there a way to define some set of default headers to be used for each request (without choosing manually Preset before sending each request)? I.e. is there a way to define a default Preset to be used?
Additionaly when I follow some of the links in the response (by clicking on it) and send a request for this link, the headers from the original request are lost. Is there a way to preserve them automatically?
Thanks in advance
There is no direct way to do this but this can be done via Collection level Pre-request script. Steps-
var Header = require('postman-collection').Header;
pm.request.headers.add(new Header("foo:foo"))
pm.request.headers.add(new Header("bar:bar"))As of 7.0.9 - You should be able to now do this in your Pre-request Scripts.
You can use the following syntax:
pm.request.headers.add({key: 'header_name', value: 'header_value' })
pm.request.headers.upsert({key: 'header_name', value: 'header_value' })
pm.request.headers.remove('header_name')
