requestsreflecting
Requestsreflecting is a term used in web development and network testing to describe techniques that reflect, mirror, or echo client requests for analysis or debugging. The phrase is not standardized and its meaning varies by discipline. In security contexts, it often refers to mechanisms that return parts of a request—such as query parameters, headers, or payloads—in the server response to reveal how user input is processed or to test for reflective vulnerabilities. In networking and observability, requestsreflecting describes the practice of duplicating incoming HTTP requests to a tracing or testing endpoint to observe traffic patterns, latency, and payload characteristics.
Implementation approaches include server-side reflection, where the application module echoes back selected elements of the request
Risks include inadvertent data exposure from echoing sensitive fields, increased bandwidth and processing overhead, and potential
