If a response header with the given name exists and contains multiple values, the value that was added first will be returned.

This method considers only response headers set or added via BBjspWebResponse::setHeader(String, String) or BBjspWebResponse::addHeader(String, String), respectively.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>
        User-Agent: <%= #Response!.getHeader("User-Agent") %>
    </body>
</html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!
  
  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)
       
    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response!.setContentType("text/html")
    s! = #response!.getOutputStream()
    
    s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")
    s!.write("User-Agent:"+ #response!.getHeader("User-Agent"))
    s!.write("</body></html>")
  methodend
classend
