Hadrian Zbarcea commented on CAMEL-3429:
----------------------------------------

That would be an idea, however I assume you meant {{remove}} instead of 
{{removeHeaders}}
{code}
from("...").headers().remove("x").to("...")
from("...").headers().remove("x", "y", "z").to("...")
{code}

There are a few people in the community now that think we could improve the 
DSL. Martin tweeted about his recent dabbling with a Scala dsl. I would like to 
see a more pluggable dsl and maybe a dsl builder, kinda the the way camel-bam 
does it, to better address integration needs of a specific industry or 
organization. (Of course we strive to be backwards compatible too).

So anyway, I hope we'll tackle this one soon, I assume right after the holidays.

>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: camel-core
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.0

> Currently the DSL offers the following methods:
> - {{removeHeader(name)}} which removes a single header
> - {{removeHeaders(pattern)}} remove one or more headers based on a pattern 
> (since 2.3)
> The attached patch extends the DSL with the following methods:
> - {{removeHeaders(name...)}} removes the headers in the given a vararg 
> parameter. 
> - {{removeHeadersExcept(pattern)}} removes all headers except for the ones 
> matching the given pattern (opposite of {{removeHeaders(pattern)}})
> - {{removeHeadersExcept(name...)}} removes all headers except for the ones in 
> the given vararg parameter (opposite of {{removeHeaders(name)}})
> The rationale for the removeHeadersExcept() method is that in many cases you 
> want to take a _defensive_ approach with regard to header propagation.
> Sometimes you may want to remove _every_ header on the current message, in 
> that case just call removeHeadersExcept() with no arguments.
> In other cases you want to propagate only the "id" header received through 
> the servlet/jetty component (as a query parameter). In that case call
> removeHeadersExcept("id") to preserve the "id" header, while preventing other 
> query parameters (and standard HTTP headers) to flow down your route.
