Override/Create request parameters in web applications

I am wondering if there is any app, browser extension and etc that can create/override request parameters in the web application?

For example I have IBM's WebSphere v8.5 locally where I use filter in web.xml that sets user roles/info in init-param and param-name tags so it makes them available as request parameters. But if you want to change values then you need to redeploy your application. You don't lose much time doing that but it is still inconvenient and requires change in deployment descriptor.

So is there any good technique, third party app(free) or browser extension? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • I found quick solution to this. There is chrome browser extension called requestly

    It helps me to manipulate requests and headers so I don't have to redeploy my application.
