Reading Request Headers Directly

• Preceding methods are not exhaustive.

• If you know the name of the header you want, use

  String getHeader(String name)
  

• For headers (e.g. Accept-Language) that can appear multiple time in a given request, use:

  java.util.Enumeration getHeaders(String name)
  

• To simply enumerate all headers of a given request, use

  java.util.Enumeration getHeaderNames()
  

in conjunction with getHeader().
