You don't really need to get it for the testing, you need to assert that it has expected values.

Say, you testing the throttle middleware, to be sure that no one can try too manycredit cards with your web store, that is your unit test:

    $route = route('payment');

    $iMax = 60;
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $iMax; $i++) {

        $response = $this->call('POST', $route, []);
        $response->assertHeader('x-ratelimit-limit', $iMax);
        $response->assertHeader('x-ratelimit-remaining', $iMax - $i);
        $response->assertRedirect();
        $response->assertStatus(302);
        $this->assertSame(iMax, $response->headers->get('x-ratelimit-limit'));
        $this->assertSame(iMax-$i, $response->headers->get('x-ratelimit-remaining'));
    }

    // log down headers if needed
    //\Log::debug($response->headers);

    $response = $this->call('POST', $route, []);
    $response->assertHeader('x-ratelimit-limit', $iMax);
    $response->assertHeader('x-ratelimit-remaining', 0);

    $response->assertStatus(429);

Do something like:

$response->headers->get('content-type');

or whatever you need. Also dd($response->headers); might be useful to you if you want to see what is in your response headers.

$this->call() returns Response which is extending Symfony's Response and headers is an object ResponseHeaderBag which has the following methods.
