HTTP Headers

[Robert Mulley]

It's possible I missed this somewhere, but I've been looking and was unable to find it documented anywhere.  Does GoWeb provided a method for retrieving HTTP Headers?  For example, I would like to have users send an authorization header when accessing my REST API.  I thought something like the line below would work, but now luck.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

c.Header.Get("data")

Headers are part of the ResponseWriter inside the context.

c.ResponseWriter.Header().Set()/Get()

That should get you heading in the right direction. :)

Thanks Tyler.  It looks like I'm able to set the headers, but unable to get any of them.  As an explanation, here is what's happening step-by-step:

1) Using Chrome Poster in Google Chrome, I make a request to a URL.  I've set a header called data.  This is an API call so I expect a response of a JSON containing certain data.

2) The server takes the request, and outputs the data header which is blank.

3) A dummy header is set for testing purposes. The correct JSON response as well as the dummy header are all returned fine.

It seems like this should be a pretty simple task, and I'm not sure why I'm unable see any of the HTTP headers in Go.

Get those out of context.Request.Header

I was able to retrieve the data header via: c.Request.Header["Data"][0].

Thanks for all the help!
