Richard, Thanks for your answers. I think that makes great sense; though I still think to have getHeader() or getHeaders() may be helpful when doing debug for response object.

Larry, I'll go out on a limb here and say that since the response is being generated on the server by a servlet or JSP, there is no need for getHeader() or getHeaders() methods because the developer is setting them. The HttpServletResponse interface has addHeader() and addXXXHeader() methods to add headers to the response. There is also the containsHeader() method which returns a boolean. -Richard --- "Zhang, Larry (L.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks, this may be an off topic question, but I am > curious to understand why. > > We know that Http protocol has features such as > Headers.
