Params:
  • name – the header name, case insensitive.
Throws:
Returns:a read-only list of header values.

Get a HTTP header as a single string value.

Each single header value is converted to String using a HeaderDelegate if one is available via RuntimeDelegate.createHeaderDelegate(Class<Object>) for the header value class or using its toString method if a header delegate is not available.
Params:
  • name – the HTTP header.
See Also:
Returns:the HTTP header value. If the HTTP header is not present then null is returned. If the HTTP header is present but has no value then the empty string is returned. If the HTTP header is present more than once then the values of joined together and separated by a ',' character.
