Locate Header Release For Free

Most actionable response headers are generated by the Web server itself. These include instructions for the client to cache the content (or not), content language, and the HTTTP request status code among others.

The HTTP Location header is a response header that is used under 2 circumstances to ask a browser to redirect a URL (status code 3xx) or provide information about the location of a newly created resource (status code of 201). Its usage is often confused with another HTTP Header which is HTTP Content-Location header.

The getResponseHeader() method returns the value as a UTF byte sequence. Note: The search for the header name is case-insensitive. If you need to get the raw string of all of the headers, use the getAllResponseHeaders() method, which returns the entire raw header string.

So if you want to retrieve a specific header by its name then use getHeader(String headerName) or header(String headerName) who returns a String which is actually the value of that header. If you want to retrieve all headers of response then use headers() or getHeaders() who return Headers object.
