How to make a new HTTP request using the Montoya API

m | Last updated: Dec 25, 2022 07:19AM UTC

Hello. I'd like to request all requests once more with JSON data. There are methods to intercept requests and responses, but there seems to be no methods to build new requests. Also, I made an issue on GitHub. Can I check it? https://github.com/PortSwigger/burp-extensions-montoya-api/issues/17

Hi

You can build a request to pass in using HttpRequest.httpRequest().

To issue your request, you would use Http.issueRequest().

That works. However, the JavaDoc states, that httpRequest(httpService, String) and httpRequest(httpService, byte[]) can be used. However, I can only use the String variant.

Hi HttpRequest.httpRequest can take a String or a ByteArray, rather than a byte[]. This is a custom Burp class - you can find it here: https://portswigger.github.io/burp-extensions-montoya-api/javadoc/burp/api/montoya/core/ByteArray.html
