Hello.

To test ApiHeaderParameter, invoked HttpApi service method like this

```auto
curl ... -H "x-my-secret-key: somethingsecret" http://localhost:8099/api/test

```

and to read x-my-secret-key header value at server, I tried following code but I couldnt’

```auto
[ServiceMethod]
[ApiMethod(HttpApiPath = "test", HttpApiMethod = ApiRequestMethod.Get)]
public string MyTestApi ([ApiHeaderParameter]string mySecretKey)
and
public string MyTestApi ([ApiHeaderParameter]string xMySecretKey)

```

How can server read x-my-secret-key header value?

Hello

The name of the header should be `X-mySecretKey` (not case-sensitive) . I’ll log an issue to handle header names like `X-my-Secret-Key` (with dashes) as well.

You can drop a mail to support@ with your account name on [remobjects.com](http://remobjects.com) and we’ll provide you a preliminary build with this update and (probably) update for the topic [Getting a client ip address in HttpApi Service](https://talk.remobjects.com/t/getting-a-client-ip-address-in-httpapi-service/25749)
