Quick Update Headers

Quick Update Headers lets you refresh individual headers in a Repeater or Intruder request with the latest values from the same host in the Proxy History. The most common use case is replacing stale cookies or authorization tokens in saved Repeater tabs without having to manually copy and paste from a recent request.

Features

  • Adds per-header context menu items to Repeater and Intruder requests, so you can update one header at a time.
  • Searches proxy history in reverse chronological order and applies the value from the most recent matching request to the same host.
  • Configurable header list - specify which headers appear in the context menu via the extension settings panel.

Usage

  1. Open "Settings → Extensions → Quick Update Headers" and set the Header List to a comma-separated list of header names you want to be updatable (e.g. Authorization,Cookie).
  2. In a Repeater or Intruder tab, right-click the request. Any headers that are both present in the request and in your configured list will appear as individual context menu items.
  3. Click a header name to replace its value with the one from the most recent proxy history request to the same host.
