Class RequestHeaderRequestMatcher

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RequestMatcher
    public final class RequestHeaderRequestMatcher
extends java.lang.Object
implements RequestMatcher
    A RequestMatcher that can be used to match request that contain a header with an expected header name and an expected value.

    For example, the following will match an request that contains a header with the name X-Requested-With no matter what the value is. 

     RequestMatcher matcher = new RequestHeaderRequestMatcher("X-Requested-With");
    Alternatively, the RequestHeaderRequestMatcher can be more precise and require a specific value. For example the following will match on requests with the header name of X-Requested-With with the value of "XMLHttpRequest", but will not match on header name of "X-Requested-With" with the value of "Other". 
     RequestMatcher matcher = new RequestHeaderRequestMatcher("X-Requested-With",
                "XMLHttpRequest");
    The value used to compare is the first header value, so in the previous example if the header "X-Requested-With" contains the values "Other" and "XMLHttpRequest", then it will not match.
