How to get an specific header value from the HttpResponseMessage

I\'m making an HTTP call. My response contains a session code X-BB-SESSION in the header section of the HttpResponseMessage object. How do I get th

You are trying to enumerate one header (CacheControl) instead of all the headers, which is strange. To see all the headers, use

foreach (var value in responseHeadersCollection)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("CacheControl {0}={1}", value.Name, value.Value);
}

to get one specific header, convert the Headers to a dictionary and then get then one you want

Debug.WriteLine(response.Headers.ToDictionary(l=>l.Key,k=>k.Value)["X-BB-SESSION"]);

This will throw an exception if the header is not in the dictionary so you better check it using ContainsKey first
