# strip-request
A tool for stripping away unnecessary headers, query parameters, and post body
parameters from an HTTP request.
## Installation
Download one of the release [jars](https://github.com/heathj/strip-request/releases)
and use it:
`java -jar strip-request.jar -h`
## Usage
`strip-request` is simple to use with raw HTTP requests that are usually acquired
from the browser or through a tool such as Burp repeater. A normal workflow, for
example, when using Repeater would be right-click a request in Repeater and select,
"Copy to File...". Once the request is saved, strip the request using the following
command:
`java -jar strip-request.jar -i request.txt`
The following request to [example.com](http://example.com)
~~~http
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
