Redireq Firefox

Redireq

Redirects requests from one host to another another, live.

Features & Capabilities

This extension allows redirecting requests from one host to another. Define source and destination hosts, and any request whose url matches the source value will see that part replaced by the destination value. Values can be hosts or host + path fragment.

I'm working on a widget that's integrated in a parent page. Being able to redirect requests from one environment to another is very valuable, as that means one can see the live, production parent page, while using the development version of the widget. Being able to switch environments helps with development and debugging.

Redirect from production to dev environment: widgets.example.comwidgets-dev.example.com

Redirect from one version to another: example.com/v3example.com/v2

Redirect only one file: example.com/v3/loader.jsdev.example.com/v3/loader.js

** version history ** 1.5:

Is Redireq Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Redireq requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Redireq is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
