Authorization : Basic ${b64("username:password")}  #implement Base authentication easily

#========================================================================================

X-SUMS     : ${
                  var a = "";                      #or do complex things :P
                  for(i = 0; i<100;++i){
                       a+=i
                  }
                a;

x-header-example3 : text with %&£ $imbol$     #this is an inline comment



*Crypto functionalities*

X-MD5    : ${md5('message')}
X-SHA1   : ${sha1('message')}
X-SHA256 : ${sha256('message')}


*Example *

Accept-Charset:            # Remove this header
Accept-Language:fr         # Change to "fr" for every request
@.*gif                     # Work on any http://*.gif
Accept:*/*                 # Change Accept request to */*

You can also use the internal function crypto(“sha1”,“plain text”); where the first argument can vary between:

* ‘md2’
* ‘md5’
* ‘sha1’
* ‘sha256’
* ‘sha384’
* ‘sha512’

Regular Expression Support new

You can use the “@” character at the first char in a line in order to specify a
regular expression set of header. Since this line all the headers comes above is
activated only for the matching URI.

x-all-0 : header-value      //no @modification so is always enabled
@serverURI_1
x-all-1a : header-value     //is taken in account only for server with serverURI_1 
x-all-1b : header-value     //is taken in account only for server with serverURI_1 
@serverURI_2
x-all-2 : header-value      //is taken in account only for server with serverURI_2




x-all-0 : header-value      //no @modification so is always enabled
x-all-1 : header-value
@^https                     //the following two headers is enabled only for HTTPS
x-all-1a : header-value     
x-all-1b : header-value     
@prod                       //the following headers is enabled only for URI with "prod" inside
x-all-2 : header-value      

Move from Modify Headers
If you are already using modify headers you can simply switch to this plugin just with the following steps :

1. enable all the headers inside the modify headers (Enable All Button)
2. open a site for header visualization ( http://w3bt00l.tk/ or optimized for Header Tool https://w3bt00l.appspot.com/ht)
3. cut&past in the the header in the text area
