Hi, You have to call chain.doFilter from inside your filter or the request doesn't get processed. If you set the header before the call to chain.doFilter, than you're doing it during the request chain. If you set the header after the call to chain.doFilter, then you're doing it during the response chain. In your case the latter is what you want, so after the chain.doFilter call.
