Question

I start a server on my computer and load a local html file. When i send web socket request to the server and i check client handshake and the sent handshake from the server the Origin value is different. Can I manipulate this value or set it from somewhere and how? enter image description here

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can't change the origin value being sent by the browser. This is a security feature that allows cross-origin security. The Sec-WebSocket-Origin you are seeing sent back from the server is a feature of the Hixie 76 version of the protocol that is going away in the more recent protocol versions.
