​
Passing Headers

Headers sent through Site Unblocker will be passed directly to the target website. 
curl -k -v -x unblock.decodo.com:60000 \
     -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://ip.decodo.com/" \
     -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.79 Safari/537.36"
     -H "X-Foo: Bar" \

​
Exceptions

The following headers are intercepted by Site Unblocker and are not forwarded to the target website by default:
  • host
  • accept
  • connection
  • cache-control
If you wish to pass any of these headers to the target website, prefix the key of your header with X-SU-Custom-: 
curl -k -v -x unblock.decodo.com:60000 \
     -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://ip.decodo.com/" \
     -H `X-SU-Custom-Host: spoofed.website.com:8080`
     -H "X-Foo: Bar" \

​
Cookies

The Cookie header does not require any prefix and can be passed directly: 
curl -k -v -x unblock.decodo.com:60000 \
     -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://ip.decodo.com/" \
     -H "Cookie: abc=4206969; def=1234567"

​
Forcing headers

Site Unblocker uses predefined header and cookie combinations to achieve the most efficient success rates for targeted websites. This means that, sometimes, we may need to drop customer provided headers in order to improve success rates. This behaviour, however, can be overridden by forcing headers or cookies.
When forcing headers or cookies, the request will always be charged from your subscription, even if the request fails.
