respondWithHeader

def respondWithHeader(responseHeader: HttpHeader): Directive0

Description

Adds a given HTTP header to all responses coming back from its inner route.

Example

Scala

val route =
  path("foo") {
    respondWithHeader(RawHeader("Funky-Muppet", "gonzo")) {
      complete("beep")
    }
  }

// tests:
Get("/foo") ~> route ~> check {
  header("Funky-Muppet") shouldEqual Some(RawHeader("Funky-Muppet", "gonzo"))
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "beep"
}

Java

final Route route = path("foo", () ->
        respondWithHeader(RawHeader.create("Funky-Muppet", "gonzo"), () ->
                complete("beep")));

testRoute(route).run(HttpRequest.GET("/foo"))
        .assertHeaderExists("Funky-Muppet", "gonzo")
        .assertEntity("beep");
