How to read http headers

Question
1

I am trying to read the value of a specific header from an HTTP request and assign it to a page variable. Is this the correct way of doing that?

outputs["HTTP request"].resHeaders['header-name']

Hi,

Yes this seems fine, did you try it? Another option to try would be outputs["HTTP request"].resHeaders.header_name

3

What I posted does not work. I’ll try what you mentioned.

Hello,
[“HTTP request”].resHeaders.header_name does not work either.

Hi,

I did some testing, and it seems like [“HTTP request”].resHeaders comes in a map object. So try using outputs["HTTP request"].resHeaders.map['header-name']

6

Hello,

I tried using outputs[“HTTP request”].resHeaders.map[‘header-name’] to assign the specific http request header to a page variable (text) and display it on the page but it is not showing anything.

Hmm strange! I have this exact setup and it works. Are you sure the HTTP Request is working and that the header you are trying to get really is in the response header?

8

Yes, I know for a fact that the http request is working and the header is present in the response (I can see both in the developer tools in the preview)

OK I see what’s going on. It works in the preview app but doesn’t work in the web app.

Hi All,

I found out on the docs, that the resHeaders is and Object and we can check the contents of Object using Keys and Values.

Function signature

KEYS(object: Object) => Array

VALUES(object: Object) => Array.

But i am still not getting any content. I need to get a specific header which needs to be passed to other pages.

Is there any way to do.
