Important

• To obtain the value of an HTTP request header using the http.request.headers field, specify the header name in lowercase. For example, to get the first value of the Accept-Encoding request header in an expression, use: http.request.headers["accept-encoding"][0].

• Use the to_string() function to get the string representation of a non-string value like an Integer value.

For information on the available functions, refer to Functions.
