Extending Chef from Opscode with header params for http_request

Posted by Edmund Haselwanter on Friday, July 31, 2009

Added support for custom header options in chef for the http_request

Opscode Chef Ticket
Resolved on Github

An example using a custom "Host" header property: 
   1  
   2  http_request "localhost_with_host_header" do
   3    url "localhost"
   4    message "my request"
   5    headers Hash[:Host => "my-real.hostname.com"]
   6  end
The new parameter is headers which takes a Hash and will add all values.to_s to the request header.
