What is the correct way to make a POST request through a proxy server and modify the information of the headers at the same time?
How can we obtain the code of an HTTP request returned by the server if, in the response object, we have the response of the server?
Which mechanism is used to improve the basic authentication process by using a one-way hashing cryptographic algorithm?
