Mobile Platform as a Service:Header settings

The gateway supports adding or removing headers for all requests. In the Header Settings section, click Modify to open the edit mode, and then click Add to add a rule. Each rule contains five attributes: location, type, headerKey, value, and action.

• Location: Select the request header or response header.

  • If you add a request header, it is automatically included in the request. Your application can retrieve the header through MobileRpcHolder.

  • If you add a response header, it is automatically included in the response. The client can retrieve the header from the response.

• Type: Select add or delete.

  • Add: adds a new header. If a header with the same key already exists, it is overwritten.

  • Delete: removes a header. If you specify a value, the header is removed only when its current value matches the specified value.

• headerKey: Any RFC-compliant string, except HTTP-specific headers such as host and content-type, or mpaasgw-specific headers such as operation-type.

• value: Any string.

• Action: Delete the current header rule.

  Note

  Do not use underscores (_) when defining HTTP headers.
