Jeff, It may well be that PlumTree is manipulating the headers before calling third party pages but that doesn't necessarily mean it is doing it via CF code.
You can do v.limited header manipulation using CFHTTP...well, you can set the user-agent header, and you can set some cookies but other than that I'm not aware of another way using purely CF. It is not that difficult to write a CFX or JSP Custom Tag...or indeed access java.net.URL class to open a connection to port 80 or whatever and then manually/programmatically create an HTTP request (including the desired headers) to another resource...well, its not that difficult if you know some Java, but may be you don't! As other people have suggested, a quick and dirty way of testing is to use Telnet and manually create the requests- headers included. How much work do you want to do?

I have an instance of a PlumTree portal sitting on a set of production servers. I am trying to put together another application that PlumTree can be nice and talk to. Now, PlumTree passes information from the portal itself to third party applications via the http header. So somehow the PlumTree portal is manipulating the http header before it calls my function. The http header when I receive it (i.e. I can dump the header variables and see the values) includes things like ... CSP-CAN-SET = 'Gadget,User' CSP-GATEWAY-TYPE = 'PlumTree' CSP-PROTOCOL-VERSION = '1.1' My function can then, through the use of getHttpRequestData, see/read/use these header values. I am attempting to test my function on a development box - separate from the PlumTree system - and was trying to figure out how to set these variables before calling my function - i.e. make it look like PlumTree is doing the calling. Hopefully this is more clear.

Suppose that just any website could tell any browser "from now on you will send this header", with 'this' being a unique identification. Sounds like something the EFF and the /. crowd would go rather nuts about, wouldn't they?
