How to read HTTP request headers in a WCF web service?

Question

In a WCF web service, how does one read an HTTP/HTTPS request header? In this case, i\'m trying to determine the original URL host the client used. This might be in the X-Fo

Answer 1

Try WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.Headers

I use following codes to see all headers :

IncomingWebRequestContext request = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest;
WebHeaderCollection headers = request.Headers;

Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------------");
Console.WriteLine(request.Method + " " + request.UriTemplateMatch.RequestUri.AbsolutePath);
foreach (string headerName in headers.AllKeys)
{
  Console.WriteLine(headerName + ": " + headers[headerName]);
}
Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------------");

Answer 2

This is how I read them in one of my Azure WCF web services.

IncomingWebRequestContext woc = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest;

string applicationheader = woc.Headers["HeaderName"];
