Check browser localization with selenium webdriver

Question

I am trying to test our site with different host language headers. Therefore, if the header accept-language is fr, it shows "bonjour", and if the header accept-language is "en", it shows "hello."

I do this with selenium webdriver, however, after several hours of web searching, I see no way to do this.

I stumbled upon this post, which suggests that this is not possible ( http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=141 ), but certainly this is what someone else needs? Anyone any idea?

thanks!

take a look http://blog.dynatrace.com/2009/08/04/get-more-out-of-functional-web-testing-how-to-correlate-test-reports-with-server-side-log-information / , which describes the use of a script as a proxy for changing request headers.
