How to pass http header value to WCF rest service operation?

Question

Is there any way to extract http header value and pass it to WCF rest service operation at global extension point, e.g. customized IParameterInspector? Thanks in advance.

Through your WCF service WebOperationContext you can access the current request's http headers like the following:

var request = WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest;
string header = request.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Cookie];
