How can I make sure I always get IPAddress and UserAgent, I am trying to get this information from httpRequest header "X-Forwarded-For" and User-Agent,
In what all scenarios will these headers not be present?
I want to capture customer IpAddress and UserAgent for every request.
Thanks!

I'm building a REST API. Before calling a GET endpoint a HEAD request should be sent.
What kind of "Content-Type" parameter should a HEAD request provide?
Its not mandatory to send HEAD request before sending GET request. The HTTP HEAD method requests the headers that would be returned if the HEAD request's URL was instead requested with the HTTP GET method. HEAD request/response have no body so there is no need of Content-Type header
IntelliJ has an HTTP client. When composing a file that is interpreted by the HTTP client, you can specify headers that go out to the server with the request, like so:
###
GET https://{{hostname}}/{{path}}
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: {{x-token}}
I want to find the actual value of the token that was used to replace the variable name, seen above as {{x-token}}, but I don't see any way to obtain the request headers. The response headers are obviously available, but not the request headers. See the image below for the test results that are shown after running the HTTP client inside Intellij:
Is there a way to display the REQUEST headers?
Link to IntelliJ Documentation - HTTP Client -- the documentation seems to never mention the actual request headers that are sent over the wire, but they do discuss how to define request headers in composing the .http file type.
Check the Tools | HTTP Client | 'Show HHTP Requests History' action.
I'm trying to retrieve Set-Cookie from response header I send using MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0.
But the response header doesn't include this type. Just standard ones like Agent, Server, Accept etc.
When I monitor network it is being sent.
I cannot use WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1 because it says 'No credentials were available in the client certificate' even if I sent one with the request.
Can anyone help me with that?
I'm trying to send a POST using Postman and CKAN API but I'm not sure what to include in the URL, headers and body. This is what I have tried. Can someone can help me out with the format? What to include in URL, headers and body?
In the image you can see that I send the URL without / as mention in another post but still it does not work.
I included the API key in the headers
You are trying to call the datastore_upsert action. The action URL should be
http://demo.ckan.org/api/action/datastore_upsert. In the headers tab, you should add Authorization key and the API key as a value e.g Authorization 2131238ac-32fs-4f19-8ac9-d4af5esadasd2. Then inside the body, you should add the datastore_upsert action required parameters.
Does anyone know how to get access to request HTTP headers within MessageEncoder.ReadMessage method?
It seems that WCF already "knows" request headers at the point of invoking ReadMessage method, at least Content-Type and Content-Length but I cannot get the access to the Content-Encoding header.
Basically, I'm trying to utilize gzip de/compression for WCF service (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751458.aspx) and would like to check if decompression is necessary for incoming request. To do that I'd like to check Content-Encoding header but cannot figure out where to get it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Here's an answer I gave in another thread which explains how you would need to manipulate the headers via the WebOperationContext in another IOperationBehavior which is coupled with the MessageEncoder.
