Behat reusable actions add header

I'm using Behat in a Symfony2 app.

I have made a reusable action to add a HTTP header on some scenarios

/**
* @Given I am authenticated as admin
*/
public function iAmAuthenticatedAsAdmin()
{
    $value = 'Bearer xxxxxxxxxxx';

    $response = new Response();
    $response->headers->set('Authorization', $value);
    $response->send();

    return $response;
 }

This action is call when I add the I am authenticated as admin step in my scenario but it doesn't add my header. Like this

Scenario: I find all my DNS zones
  Given I am authenticated as admin
  And I send a GET request to "/api/dns"
  Then the response code should be 200

How can I add a HTTP header before my request step in my scenario, using a reusable action ? Is it possible ?

Thank.

I have find the way to do this.

If you are using WebApiExtension

Just import the WebApiContext in your context class like this

/**
 * @param BeforeScenarioScope $scope
 *
 * @BeforeScenario
 */
public function gatherContexts(BeforeScenarioScope $scope)
{
    $environment = $scope->getEnvironment();

    $this->webApiContext = $environment->getContext('Behat\WebApiExtension\Context\WebApiContext');
}

And you just have now to use the iSetHeaderWithValue :

/**
 * @Given I am authenticated as admin
 */
public function iAmAuthenticatedAsAdmin()
{
    $name = 'Authorization';
    $value = 'Bearer xxxxxxxx';

    $this->webApiContext->iSetHeaderWithValue($name, $value);
}

Why don't you simply store it in session (hint: session should be destroyed at every scenario; take a look to BeforeScenario) and use whenever you need it?

Because I guess it's added but, on next request, it's gone as a brand new pair of request/response are generated (if I understand your needs correctly)
