Please also notice that Restlet provides an API for RESTful application. This means that you can access standard headers using this API. In most cases, you donn't need to use the attribute named "org.restlet.http.headers".

For example, if you want to set a Location header in the response, you add this code:

getResponse().setLocationRef("http://...");

Otherwise, since you talk about security, Restlet provides a generic API to support such aspect (see classes ChallengeAuthenticator, Verifier, Enroler).

Hope it helps you. Thierry
