Using the REST Request Headers Page
The REST Request Headers page (IB_EVENTREQ_SEC) enables you to simulate setting REST headers identified in the service operation.
The number of headers available to build depends on the number, if any, defined on the routing definition for the service operation and thus included in the provided WADL document. If no headers were added to the routing definition for the service operation then no headers are available to populate.
To access the REST Request Headers page, on the REST Tester page () click the Request Headers link.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the REST Request Headers page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
The previous example shows the default view of the REST Request Headers page.
The page enables you to set basic authentication credentials if used in the service operation being tested. To enter basic authentication credentials, select the Use Basic Authentication box. User ID and password fields appear on the page for you to enter the credentials.
