Custom Command

$httpRequestHeader

Retrieves the value of a specific header from the most recent HTTP request made using the $httpRequest function.

Syntax

$httpRequestHeader[header name]

header name: The name of the HTTP header you want to retrieve. This is case-insensitive.

Description

This function allows you to access the headers returned by the server after making an HTTP request with $httpRequest. You can use this to inspect the response and handle it accordingly. Common headers include content-type, content-length, date, and server.

Important: This function only works if a successful $httpRequest has been made before it's called within the same execution context.

Example

This example makes an HTTP request and then retrieves and displays the content-type header from the response.

!!exec $let[response;$httpRequest[My API URL]]
Response Content type is $httpRequestHeader[content-type]

Here's a breakdown of what's happening:

  1. $let[response;$httpRequest[My API URL]]: This first makes an HTTP request to "My API URL" (replace this with an actual URL). The response is stored in a variable called response. While the response itself is stored, the crucial part here is that $httpRequest is executed and its headers become available.

  2. Response Content type is $httpRequestHeader[content-type]: This retrieves the value of the content-type header from the previous $httpRequest call and includes it in the message.

Example Output:

Member04/23/2025
!!exec $let[response;$httpRequest[My API URL]]
Response Content type is $httpRequestHeader[content-type]

Custom Command Bot 04/23/2025
Response Content type is application/json

Note: Replace My API URL with a valid URL in your actual command. The output application/json is just an example; the actual value will depend on the API you're querying.
