About request headers
Contents
A Request header is a header contained in a request message that a client application sends to a server. These messages contain useful and necessary information about the request. For example, the most common request header you will use in CaseMap Server is the Accept header, which contains a number of parameters for many of the method calls. Other than <Accept>, all other request headers are either optional, auto-generated, or have a default value that is useable by most applications.
The following topics describe the headers you may need to place in a CaseMap Server request.
