Header

The header holds the key and value for a given HTTP operation that you want to execute. The connector sends these key value pairs as part of the header in HTTP requests.

For example, the following example displays a sample key value pair, where Authorization is the header Key and $application.accesstoken$ is the Value.

Authorization – $application.accesstoken$

Content-Type – application/json

Note
If you don't provide the content type in the Header, the source will set Content-Type as application/json.

  1. Enter the header Key used for the operation.

  2. Enter the Value of the header key used for operation.

  3. Select Save.

Content Types

  • JSON request, JSON response: Content-Type= application/json (optional), Accept (optional)

  • XML request, XML response: Content-Type= application/xml or text/xml or */xml (required), Accept (optional)

  • JSON request, XML response: Content-Type= application/json (optional), Accept = application/xml or text/xml or */xml (required)

  • XML request, JSON response: Content-Type= application/xml or text/xml or */xml (required), Accept = application/json (required)

Support for Expression Language in the Header Values

The web services connector supports expression language in the Header. To use expressions in the Header, wrap them with _#.

The following objects can support expression language when you use them with placeholders:

  • Response

  • Plan

  • Application

For example, the following example displays sample key value pairs:

Count - _#2+2_#

Service-Name - _#$application.serviceName$.concat('service')_#
