How to retrieve HTTP header information from a C# RESTful Service Method

Solution 1
I was able to get what I was looking for using the HttpContext.Current property. Using the Request.Headers property I was able to retrieve a name value list of the header information
public string MethodRequiringAuthorization()
{
HttpContext httpContext = HttpContext.Current;
NameValueCollection headerList = httpContext.Request.Headers;
var authorizationField = headerList.Get("Authorization");
return "{Message" + ":" + "You-accessed-this-message-with-authorization" + "}";
}
Solution 2
Have you tried
Request.Headers["Authorization"]

I have the following C# RESTful interace.
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "requires-authorization", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)] [OperationContract] string MethodRequiringAuthorization();
Which is implemented int the following class
public string MethodRequiringAuthorization() { //var authorisazation = HTTP header authorization field return "{Message" + ":" + "You-accessed-this-message-with-authorization" + "}"; }
I would like to pass into this method the value of the field "Authorization" in the http header (as described in the commented line). Any ideas how I can retrieve this value
