It looks like an example might require updating. In the FAQ I see: 5. How can I get the raw HTTP headers if I really need to?
Even though the org.restlet.data.Request and org.restlet.data.Response classes provide a convenient and protocol-neutral way to manipulate the information contained in standard HTTP headers, it is sometimes necessary to access to the raw header values or to add non-standard headers. For this purpose, we use special request and response attributes, see details in Javadocs of the Message.getAttributes() method. There is also a sample code in the distribution that illustrates how to get raw headers and how to add non-standard ones, see the com.noelios.restlet.example.misc.HeadersTest class in the "src" directory. Message.getAttributes() returns a MapModel, but the cited example is using ParameterLists. I think the example is out of date. Also, I require some clarification. Is it not allowed (or not recommended) to use the method in the example to set standard headers? I think it is clearly stated that it is alright to set non-standard headers but not clear enough regarding standard headers. Thanks, Sean
