Spring boot Rest: Read all request headers


Below snippet reads all the request headers.

@RequestMapping("/headers")
public String headers(HttpServletRequest request) {

    Enumeration<String> headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

    while (headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
        String headerName = headerNames.nextElement();
        String headerValue = request.getHeader(headerName);

        builder.append(headerName).append(" : ").append(headerValue).append("<br />");

    }

    return builder.toString();
}

Find the below working application.

App.java
package com.sample.app;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);

    }
}


HomeController.java
package com.sample.app.cotroller;

import java.util.Enumeration;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class HomeController {

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String home() {

        return "Hello World";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/headers")
    public String headers(HttpServletRequest request) {

        Enumeration<String> headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();

        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

        while (headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
            String headerName = headerNames.nextElement();
            String headerValue = request.getHeader(headerName);

            builder.append(headerName).append(" : ").append(headerValue).append("<br />");

        }

        return builder.toString();
    }

}

Total project structure looks like below.

Run App.java and open the url 'http://localhost:8080/headers', you can see all the request headers.

You can download complete working application from this link.
