Spring HttpHeaders - get Authorization header

Question

How do I retrieve Authorization header from HttpHeaders? there is no matching method like the rest of the headers. I manged to get it like -

HttpHeaders headers = sendPost.getHeaders();
List<String> list = headers.get(JwtFilterLogin.HEADER_AUTH); //header key - Authorization
System.out.println(list.get(0)); //the value

Is there a better way?

Solution

Yes.

Your "get first value" logic is already provided by HttpHeaders#getFirst() . Furthermore , Authorization header field name is also provided by HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION such that you do not need to define by your own :

HttpHeaders headers = sendPost.getHeaders();
String value = headers.getFirst(HttpHeaders.AUTHORIZATION);
