set header and getheader

[Harish Yerneni]

I am trying to print the value of a header and getting a null value as the output. Any ideas?

code:

resp.setHeader("foo","baris");
String hvalue = req.getHeader("foo");
out.println("<br>foo value is"+ hvalue);

output:

foo value isnull

Are you doing this in the same servlet ??

yes

You are setting the header to the response. Ok.
You are reading the request header. Ok.
But the request header and the response header are different.
