req.headers
An object containing pre-defined/custom header given in the current request.
Usage
req.headers;
Details
Often we want to check the headers of the current request, so this can be done easily in the sails.
Example
Sample output of the req.headers object:
console.log(req.headers);
{ host: 'localhost:1337',
connection: 'keep-alive',
'cache-control': 'no-cache',
'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.89 Safari/537.36',
accept: '*/*',
'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate, sdch',
'accept-language': 'en-US,en;q=0.8,hi;q=0.6',
cookie: 'sdfkslddklfk; sails.sid=s%3skdlfjkj1231lsdfnsc,m' }
Example
And if you want to access any specific, custom or pre-defined header, it can be done with bracket notation:
req.headers['custom-header'];
or dot notation:
req.headers.host;
