How to get access to HTTP header information in Spring MVC REST controller?

by

When you annotate a parameter with @RequestHeader, the parameter retrieves the header information. So you can just do something like this:

@RequestHeader("Accept")

to get the Accept header.

So from the documentation:

@RequestMapping("/displayHeaderInfo.do")
public void displayHeaderInfo(@RequestHeader("Accept-Encoding") String encoding,
                              @RequestHeader("Keep-Alive") long keepAlive)  {

}

The Accept-Encoding and Keep-Alive header values are provided in the encoding and keepAlive parameters respectively.

And no worries. We are all noobs with something.
