How to include a Header in the Open Script

Question

Hi
I have a header called "X-Forwarded For", and i want it to be used in the script, i have tried the following statements to do so:
1) http.headers(http.header("X-Forwarded-For", "12.1.1.1",Header.HeaderAction.Modify));
2) http.headers(http.header("X-Forwarded-For", "12.1.1.1",Header.HeaderAction.Add));
But none of the ways worked for me. Can you please help me out to deal with this problem?
Thanks & Regards

Perhaps I was not clear in my previous reply. You must send the header with the first navigation, and then it will be sent with all future navigations. Your cannot call http.headers() directly unless you save the return of the headers, and then pass the returned headers to the first navigation. After that first navigation, you will not need to send the new header in any subsequent navigations assuming the proper HeaderAction.
http.get(1, "http://testserver2",
  http.querystring(http.param("QueryString1", "QueryValue1")),
  http.headers(http.header("X-Forwarded-For", "12.1.1.1", Header.HeaderAction.SetIfNotSet)),
  false, "ASCII", "ASCII");The 12.x OpenScript users guide explains the http.get and http.post in full detail in sections "6.6.2 Adding HTTP Get Navigation", and "6.6.3 Adding HTTP Post Navigation", which includes setting http.headers()
