What is the best way to inspect the Request Headers for a service endpoint?
ContactService : Service
Having read this https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Access-HTTP-specific-features-in-services I'm curious as to the preferred way to get to the Interface.
Thank you,
Stephen
Inside a ServiceStack Service you can access the IHttpRequest and IHttpResponse objects with:
public class ContactService : Service
{
public object Get(Contact request)
{
var headerValue = base.Request.Headers[headerKey];
//or the same thing via a more abstract (and easier to Mock):
var headerValue = base.RequestContext.GetHeader(headerKey);
}
}
The IHttpRequest is a wrapper over the underlying ASP.NET HttpRequest or HttpListenerRequest (depending if you're hosting on ASP.NET or self-hosted HttpListener). So if you're running in ASP.NET you can get the underlying ASP.NET HttpRequest with:
var aspnetRequest = (HttpRequest)base.Request.OriginalRequest;
var headerValue = aspnetRequest.Headers[headerKey];
