Pass custom header using browsermob proxy

Question

Am using the following link:-

https://github.com/jarib/browsermob-proxy-rb

I have tried this to pass custom header

require 'selenium/webdriver'
require 'browsermob/proxy'

server = BrowserMob::Proxy::Server.new("/path/to/downloads/browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy") #=> #<BrowserMob::Proxy::Server:0x000001022c6ea8 ...>
server.start

proxy = server.create_proxy #=> 

proxy.headers({'test'=> 1})

But it throws error like below:-

RestClient::InternalServerError: 500 Internal Server Error
    from /home/karunakaran/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247@pubm-qa/gems/rest-client-1.6.7/lib/restclient/abstract_response.rb:48:in `return!'

Did you change the sample code's path? In the code you pasted, you have:

server = BrowserMob::Proxy::Server.new("/path/to/downloads/browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy")

The /path/to/... part should point to the actual browsermob-proxy executable.

I have passed headers key and value as a string as below and its works.

require 'selenium/webdriver'
require 'browsermob/proxy'

server = BrowserMob::Proxy::Server.new("/path/to/downloads/browsermob-proxy/bin/browsermob-proxy") #=> #<BrowserMob::Proxy::Server:0x000001022c6ea8 ...>
server.start

proxy = server.create_proxy #=> 

proxy.headers({"test"=> "1"})
