web_add_auto_header:

Web_add_auto_header function is used to add header to all the consecutive HTTP requests.

web_add_header only sends to the HTTP request that follows it, whereas web_add_auto_header sends to all the succeeding requests.

Web_add_header and web_add_auto_header is automatically generated in your script, if you enable this in Record -> recording options->Advanced->Headers->Record Headers not in list.

Example:

web_add_auto_header("Cookie", "{Cookie_ID}");
web_add_auto_header("Pragma", "no-cache");

web_url("webmail",
    "URL=http://{URL}/etc/apps/webmail/",
