Question: Is there a way to exclude headers from being recorded?

I see there are a few ways to exclude specific headers from requesting matching e.g.

    matchRequestsBy: {
      headers(headers) {
        delete headers['auth-token'];
        return headers;
      }
    }
    // OR
    matchRequestsBy: {
      headers: {
        exclude: ['auth-token']
      }
    }

I’m wondering if there is a way to tell Polly not to record excluded headers?

Np! Setting it to an empty string will still send the header in the next release (see #176). I would suggest removing the header from the array entirely.

recording.request.headers = recording.request.headers.filter(({ name }) => name !== 'auth-token'));

You have a few options:

• Use the request & beforeResponse events to remove the headers from the request/response before they are sent out or received
• Use the beforePersist event to remove it from the will-be persisted recording so that next time it’s replayed, the headers will no longer be sent.

const { server } = polly;

server.any().on('request', req => {
  req.setHeader('auth-token', null);
});
