Http Headers and Date Math

Http Headers

The @HttpHeader annotation now is now supported, for setting headers on HTTP requests.

For example:

service MyService {  @HttpOperation(method = "GET", url = "...")   // A fixed, static header  @HttpHeader(name = "Consumes", value = "application/json")  operation findPeople():Person[]
  // A header that's calculated  operation findPeople(     @HttpHeader(name = "If-Modified-Since") ifModifiedSince : Instant = addDays(now(),-7)  ):Person[]}

You can also pass header values in using the given {} clause in a query:

service MyService {  operation findPeople(     @HttpHeader(name = "Cache-Control", prefix = "max-age=") cacheMaxAge : CacheMaxAge  ):Person[]}
// which is then invoked as:given { maxAge : CacheMaxAge = 64000 } find { Person[] }
