Set Arbitrary Headers

[sullo]

Create a method to allow arbitrary headers to be set with every request.

Technically this is easy enough, as most stuff routes through nfetch and setup_hash. The only difficult bit is the UI variant, a couple of suggestions:

In nikto.conf:
HEADERS=X-Debug:true X-RevealSource:true

and on the CLI:
-headers X-Debug:true,X-RevealSource:true

Was this accepted or declined? I see that it's quite old and AFAIK still has not been implemented.

@wrycu The issue here is open and has no commit / pull request reference so its unlikely that it was implemented.

This was copied over from the old assembla bug system and yes it's still open. It should be quite simple to implement - just need an idea of which user interface is preferred (e.g. CLI or conf file).

[wrycu]

@RealRancor understood, but the lack of commits / pull requests are not an indication of if the team has accepted it and just hasn't done work on it or not.

@tautology0 I see your point. At the same time, certainly it's better to have it somewhere than nowhere... but that's just my two cents.

@wrycu But a label as "enhancement" or a non-closed issue is mostly a indication that its planned or was accepted. :-)
