X-Switch Firefox

X-Switch

By: vinzzb
This extension enables users to switch between back-end servers by reading HTTP headers with host-name information (like X-Server). Ideal for developers and website admins!

Features & Capabilities

This extension allows users to easily switch between back-end servers by reading out HTTP headers that contain host-name information, such as X-Server. This extension is particularly useful for developers and website administrators who need to test their website or web application on different servers. With this extension, users can quickly switch between servers without having to manually remove cookies and refresh the page. This makes testing and administration more efficient and streamlined, saving users time and effort.

How it works:

  • The extension inspects the HTTP Headers for valid header names.
  • If a header was found, a page action button is displayed in the url bar and the active host is visible in the corner of the page.
  • The extension will search for other values in the configured header names when you clicked the page action button . A distinct list of values (host-names) will be displayed as buttons in a popup.
  • Once you press on a host-name button the cookies for the current url will be erased and the page reloads until it finds the requested value in the header. (reload limit can be specified in the extension settings)

Is X-Switch 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.

X-Switch requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

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.
