When sending packets with http 2.0, there is a problem that the host value is continuously transmitted.

Hello I am korean.

In http version 1, host is the default, but
In http 2 version, authority value is given instead of host.

Is there any way to exclude the host value when sending packets with http2?

Hi @neospider84

I'm going to transfer this to a "Discussion" instead of an issue since it's a question.

Could you provide an example that demonstrates what's happening and what you're looking for?

[neospider84]

Thank you for answer.
For example if I send a packet from python to httpx
Even if http2.0 is used, the fiddler header value uses the host value, not the authority.
I wanted to exclude it because http2.0 doesn't use host header, but I couldn't figure out how.

Is there a way to exclude the host when sending packets with the http2 version using httpx???

Could you share a code example, the full request you see in Fiddler (or using something like https://public.requestbin.com/r/), and the request you want instead?

***The above values are exported from python to httpx.

***The above value is the packet value transmitted from the actual smartphone.

the difference between the two is
httpx-host: m.search.naver.com
Smartphone - authority : m.search.naver.com

Adding an authority value is currently possible.

Issues are automatically sent

host & connection.

Is it possible to set the host & connection not to be automatically transmitted?
A specific site is being blocked by judging this as abnormal traffic.

You don't need to.

The request will automatically use either an :authority header for HTTP/2 or a Host header for HTTP/1.1.
