Table 78-39 GET_HEADER Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
r (IN/OUT)	The HTTP response.
n (IN)	The nth header to return.
name (OUT)	The name of the HTTP response header.
value (OUT)	The value of the HTTP response header.

Usage Notes

If the response body returned by the remote Web server is encoded in chunked transfer encoding format, the trailer headers that are returned at the end of the response body will be added to the response, and the response header count will be updated. You can retrieve the additional headers after the end of the response body is reached and before you end the response.
