Displaying header values via a page token

Hi, I'd like to render an HTTP header value using the ${CONTEXT} page token but from what I've seen I don't think this is possible through the Livesite API.

A question similar to this was posted here http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/LiveSite/CONTEXT-usage/m-p/274485#.VhwzIxNVikp however I don't think his original point was answered i.e. that mapped properties aren't exposed by the ${CONTEXT} bean (other than the parameterMap).

I've tried $CONTEXT{request.headers(Accept)} (for the accept HTTP header) and all it renders is the Object.toString() output for a org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ValuesEnumerator object instance.

In standard JSTL, bean access to mapped properties is simple, possibly the format I'm using is incorrect but I'd be annoyed at having to expose this data myself by writing an external or page controller.

If anyone could confirm I'd appreciate it

Thanks

p.s. this is Livesite 7.4

You can try the bean notation ($CONTEXT{request.headers.Accept} and/or $CONTEXT{request.headers.[Accept]}) although since you reference JSTL I'm assuming you've already tried that. So get ready to be annoyed I guess Smiley Happy

Thanks rpoulin, I'd went past the point of being annoyed so started writing a site controller instead and adding to the page scope variables i.e. context.getPageScopeData().put("myKey", headerValue) and retrieving it using the page token $PAGE_SCOPE[myKey]

It is rather annoying it's implemented in such a non standard way. Should I mark this as resolved even though it's not? Smiley Very Happy

It's as resolved as it's ever going to be Smiley Tongue
