Static header value parameters

The full syntax of the action_parameters field to define a static HTTP response header value is the following:

"action_parameters": {
  "headers": {
    "<HEADER_NAME>": {
      "operation": "<set|add>",
      "value": "<URI_PATH_VALUE>"
    }
  }
}

Dynamic header value parameters

The full syntax of the action_parameters field to define a dynamic HTTP response header value using an expression is the following:

"action_parameters": {
  "headers": {
    "<HEADER_NAME>": {
      "operation": "<set|add>",
      "expression": "<EXPRESSION>"
    }
  }
}

Note

Check the available fields and functions you can use in an expression.

Header removal parameters

The full syntax of the action_parameters field to remove an HTTP response header is the following:

"action_parameters": {
  "headers": {
    "<HEADER_NAME>": {
      "operation": "remove"
    }
  }
}

Different header modifications in the same rule

The same rule can modify different HTTP response headers using different operations. For example, a single rule can set the value of a header and remove a different header. The syntax of such a rule could be the following:

"action_parameters": {
  "headers": {
    "<HEADER_NAME_1>": {
      "operation": "set",
      "value": "<HEADER_VALUE_1>"
    },
    "<HEADER_NAME_2>": {
      "operation": "remove"
    }
  }
}
