Is there any way to add a header in Selenium WebDriver test? (Like with Firefox Modify Headers plugin) I cannot use HtmlUnitDriver, because the browser has to be visible.

WebDriver does not allow you to change or set the headers using any of the browser based drivers. You can find a lot of information about their decision about the headers and the response codes at the following URL.

We use Apache HTTP Client for this type of testing where we do not want to check the rendered page elements, but just the responses and header information.
You can also give browser mob proxy with your selenium tests as well as mentioned in the url above. I have used this for other purposes and it is awesome.
