Overview

Action Dispatch HTTP Headers

Provides access to the request’s HTTP headers from the environment.

env     = { "CONTENT_TYPE" => "text/plain", "HTTP_USER_AGENT" => "curl/7.43.0" }
headers = ActionDispatch::Http::Headers.from_hash(env)
headers["Content-Type"] # => "text/plain"
headers["User-Agent"] # => "curl/7.43.0"

Also note that when headers are mapped to CGI-like variables by the ::Rack server, both dashes and underscores are converted to underscores. This ambiguity cannot be resolved at this stage anymore. Both underscores and dashes have to be interpreted as if they were originally sent as dashes.

# GET / HTTP/1.1
# ...
# User-Agent: curl/7.43.0
# X_Custom_Header: token

headers["X_Custom_Header"] # => nil
headers["X-Custom-Header"] # => "token"

end


  








  

    #add(key, value)  
  



  

    

Add a value to a multivalued header like Vary or Accept-Encoding.

    #fetch(key, default = DEFAULT)  
  



  

    

Returns the value for the given key mapped to @env.



If the key is not found and an optional code block is not provided, raises a KeyError exception.



If the code block is provided, then it will be run and its result returned.
