HTTP Request Header Names

In this section, by defining request headers globally, definitions are made in API Gateways, Test Console, so that they are ready and selectable.

The request header is an HTTP header that can be used in an HTTP request to provide information about the request context so that the server can adapt the response. For example, the Accept-* headers indicate the allowed and preferred formats of the response. Other headers can be used to provide authentication information. (For authorization, to control caching, or to get information about user agent or referrer etc.)

By default, the Apinizer Platform has 33 Request Header Names:

• Accept
